House Bill 3161 amends the Government Code to allow the state, a municipality, or a county to sell surplus buildings and land in a defense economic readjustment zone without having to comply with notice or bidding requirements if that county or municipality has adopted criteria that specifies the conditions and circumstances under which the sale may occur and the public purpose served by the sale.
