Bill Caption

Relating to the disposition by a public junior college library of certain library materials.

Fiscal Notes

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

Bill Analysis

HB 3669 would allow a public junior college library to donate library materials to any person or organization if the library materials as determined by library staff duplicate library materials that are a part of the library's collection or are no longer appropriate for inclusion in the library’s collection due to age, condition, or obsolete content and have little or no monetary value. Currently public junior colleges do not have a good way to dispose of older materials because they are technically state property. 

Vote Recommendation Notes

Texas Action supports HB 3669 on the principle of limited government because it would allow public junior colleges to more efficiently dispose of materials that are no longer needed.
