Extends a provision of law regarding the disposal of surplus computer equipment by political subdivisions
This bill extends the expiration date of a law allowing local governments (like cities, towns, and school districts) to dispose of surplus computer equipment. It changes the current expiration from July 1, 2025, to July 1, 2028, meaning the existing disposal rules remain in effect for three more years. The extension applies directly to all political subdivisions that manage or own computer equipment they no longer need. The bill was enacted after passing both legislative chambers and being signed by the governor on June 26, 2025.
