Bill > H3391

This bill modifies the Uniform Procurement Act by adding a new provision that allows governmental bodies more flexibility in disposing of surplus tangible supplies that are no longer useful to them. Specifically, the bill permits government entities to sell or dispose of surplus supplies with resale or salvage value, as long as they follow written procedures that have been approved by the governmental body itself. These procedures must clearly identify the specific supplies being disposed of and explain the purpose or benefit of the proposed disposal method. The bill emphasizes that this disposal process is permissible unless another law explicitly prohibits it, thereby giving government agencies more discretion in managing excess inventory while still requiring a transparent and documented approach to surplus supply management.
