HOUSE BILL 2840 |
HOUSE AUTHOR: Keffer et al. |
EFFECTIVE: 09-01-99 |
SENATE SPONSOR: Sibley |
The Government Code authorizes the General Services Commission to provide by rule for sales or transfers of surplus or salvage state property to assistance organizations, political subdivisions, or state agencies. Except for the house and senate, legislative agencies disposing of such property must give priority to transfers to such entities. House Bill 2840 amends the definition of "assistance organization" to include a group, including a faith-based group, that enters into a financial or nonfinancial agreement with a health or human services agency to provide services to the agency's clients.
