County surplus property.

Existing law authorizes the board of supervisors of a county to donate or lease any real or personal property that the board declares to be surplus to a school or community college district, a county children and families commission, or an organization exempt from taxation pursuant to specified provisions of federal law. This bill would additionally authorize the board of supervisors to authorize the county welfare department to donate surplus computer equipment directly to persons receiving public benefits under the CalFresh, CalWORKS, County Relief, General Relief, or General Assistance, or MediCal programs, as specified. The bill would require a county welfare department authorized to donate surplus computer equipment to, among other things, maintain an eligibility list for receipt of surplus computer equipment and establish a fair and impartial selection process by using a random lottery. The bill would prohibit a county welfare department from donating surplus computer equipment to any person receiving public benefits who is in sanction status or otherwise noncompliant with the rules and regulations of his or her benefits program.
