Senate Bill 1485 amends the Health and Safety Code to authorize an emergency services district to sell surplus firefighting equipment to any volunteer fire department or district in the state for fair market value if the equipment meets National Fire Protection Association Standards currently in effect or in effect when the equipment originally was purchased. The bill also authorizes a district to contract to supply surplus property to any such department or district at fair market value and to sell salvage property to any person in the state for fair market value or, if unable to do so, to destroy or otherwise dispose of the property as worthless. The bill allows the district to determine the fair market value of surplus and salvage property.
