An Act relative to government surplus supply
This bill amends the Uniform Procurement Act to allow government bodies (like cities, towns, or state agencies) to sell or otherwise dispose of surplus physical items (such as equipment or materials) that no longer serve their purpose but still have resale or salvage value. It requires government bodies to use written disposal procedures approved by the body itself, which must clearly describe the items being sold and the purpose of the sale. The change removes a previous barrier by explicitly permitting this disposal method without violating procurement rules, provided it doesn't conflict with other laws. This affects how local and state governments manage unused assets, streamlining a common administrative process.
