Enrolled Bill Summary

House Bill 970 amends the Local Government Code to allow a county commissioners court to dispose of salvage and surplus property by donating it to a civic or charitable organization within the county. The donation is allowed if the commissioners court determines that attempting to sell the property by competitive bid or auction would result in no bids or a bid price that is less than the expense for the bid process, the donation serves a public purpose, and the organization will pay for transportation or disposal expenses.
