Surplus property; certain purchases of from Legislature are not violations of ethics laws.

HB 47 clarifies that when state agencies purchase obsolete personal property (like furniture or equipment) sold by the Mississippi Legislature, those purchases do not violate ethics laws. Specifically, it amends Section 29-9-9 to state that such transactions with the Legislature are exempt from Section 25-4-105(3)(b) of the ethics code. This directly affects state agencies and local governments buying surplus items from legislative sales. The bill removes potential ethical concerns around these routine property transactions without changing how surplus property is sold or managed.
