Relating to the disposition by a public junior college library of
certain library materials.
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
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.
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.
