Relating to the authority of a county to dispose of surplus and salvage property to a civic or charitable organization.

HB 3335 amends Texas Local Government Code §263.152(a) to allow counties to donate surplus or salvage property to local civic or charitable organizations, rather than selling it through competitive bidding. Counties must determine that selling would likely yield no bids or a price below disposal costs, that the donation serves a public purpose, and that the organization provides adequate consideration (such as covering transportation or disposal expenses). This change directly affects county commissioners courts and local nonprofits by creating a new, streamlined option for disposing of unused property. The bill does not require competitive bidding for these donations but maintains accountability through county oversight of the process.
