Relating to the definition of assistance organization in the disposal of surplus and salvage property of this state.
HB 5501 repeals a specific definition in the Texas Government Code that previously described "assistance organization" regarding state surplus and salvage property disposal. This procedural bill directly affects how the state classifies organizations eligible to handle surplus government assets. By removing Section 2175.001(1)(C), the bill updates the legal definition without creating new programs or altering property disposal processes. The change takes effect immediately if approved by a two-thirds vote, otherwise on September 1, 2025.
