Allows public libraries, boards of education, and local governments to dispose of certain personal property without advertising for bids.

This bill (S 2379) allows public libraries, school boards, and local governments in New Jersey to sell certain library materials and personal property without requiring public advertising for bids. It amends existing laws to remove the bid-advertising requirement for disposing of items like books, media, documents, and other library-related materials. Key provisions enable these entities to sell or donate such property directly through private sales or donations, streamlining disposal processes for items no longer needed for their core functions. The change applies to property valued below specific thresholds or classified as non-perishable, non-livestock items. The bill was introduced in the Senate on January 29, 2024.
