Bill > SB62

This bill amends Delaware's laws regarding the disposal of state-owned property by clarifying and expanding definitions and procedures for handling excess materiel (equipment, supplies, and personal property). The legislation specifically allows state agencies, including public schools, to trade in or sell certain types of materiel, particularly computer technology, without going through extensive bureaucratic processes. Key changes include defining new terms like "computer technology" and "school", and establishing that equipment purchased with state funds is a state asset. The bill provides a more streamlined process for agencies to handle surplus materials, allowing them to trade in or sell items like computer equipment directly to vendors and credit the proceeds, instead of having to go through a complex surplus property transfer system. The bill also maintains existing procedures for offering surplus materiel to other state agencies, volunteer services, and nonprofit organizations before public auction, and establishes specific protocols for handling different types of property such as vehicles and computer technology. Government Support Services (GSS) will continue to play a central role in managing the disposal and reallocation of state-owned property, with enhanced flexibility to transfer or sell equipment to various eligible groups.
