Bill > H150

This bill amends North Carolina state law to create two new provisions that streamline the process for obtaining surplus and decommissioned federal property. First, the bill allows educational organizations—defined as nonprofit, not-for-profit, or tax-exempt organizations with education as their primary purpose—to more easily acquire federal surplus materials and property for educational purposes. Second, the bill enables state agencies to obtain decommissioned and surplus federal materials and property that can be used to promote public safety. These new provisions override existing limitations in the state's property acquisition regulations, effectively expediting the process for educational institutions and state agencies to obtain federal surplus property. The bill becomes effective immediately upon becoming law, which will help these organizations more quickly access potentially valuable resources that might otherwise go unused or be discarded by the federal government.
