Allowing counties to enter into trade-in transactions

HB 2191 allows West Virginia county commissions to sell, lease, trade-in, or dispose of county-owned real or personal property (including trade-ins for new property) without requiring public auction for trade-in transactions. It mandates public notice and auction for sales over $1,000 (except trade-ins), and requires public hearings for leases exceeding 50 years. The bill creates standardized rules for these transactions while exempting trade-in deals from auction requirements. This directly affects county governments managing their assets, streamlining property disposal for public purposes.
