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

This bill amends existing law to allow public libraries, including county library commissions and boards of trustees of regional, municipal, or joint public libraries, to dispose of certain library materials such as books, periodicals, and audiovisual materials without advertising for bids. Previously, these libraries could only purchase such materials without advertising for bids, but now they can also dispose of them in the same manner.
