Relating to the authority of a county to dispose of sensitive media devices.

HB 2413 allows Texas counties to destroy "sensitive media devices" (data storage devices containing information regulated by state or federal law, like personal records) that are classified as salvage or surplus property. The bill requires county commissioners courts to approve destruction only when it prevents inadvertent disclosure of protected information during disposal. It specifically amends Local Government Code Section 263.1521 to establish this process, effective September 1, 2025. The bill directly affects county governments managing data storage devices, providing a clear procedure for secure disposal without requiring new data collection or regulations.
