Bill Summary
Under current law, a county library commission and the board of trustees of any regional, municipal, or joint public library may purchase certain library materials without advertising for bids. These library materials include: books, periodicals, newspapers, documents, pamphlets, photographs, reproductions, microforms, pictorial or graphic works, musical scores, maps, charts, globes, sound recordings, slides, films, filmstrips, video and magnetic tapes, other printed or published matter, and audiovisual and other materials of a similar nature. This bill amends that law to allow public libraries to also dispose of those materials without advertising for bids.
AI Summary

Currently, these entities are only permitted to purchase such materials without advertising for bids. The bill provides flexibility for these organizations to efficiently manage their personal property by allowing them to sell or donate these materials without the requirement of a public bidding process.
