IN RE:
HB2859 by Miller, Doug (Relating to notice requirements for a county selling surplus or salvage property.), As Introduced
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Local Government Code to add to the requirements for publishing notice of surplus or salvage property being sold by a county. Under provisions of the bill, notice must be published for at least 10 days but not more than 30 days. In addition, if a county contracts with a licensed auctioneer who uses an Internet auction site offering online bidding to sell surplus or salvage property, the county would be considered in compliance with publishing notice if a posting is made on the Internet auction site for at least 10 days unless the property is sold before the 10th day.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
