SB 231

Amends GS 143-64.01 to specify that the State Surplus Property Agency (Agency) within the Department of Administration (Department) is the designee for State surplus property. (Currently just refers to the Department.) Amends the definitions in GS 143-64.02 (pertaining to state surplus property) as follows. Amends the definition of agency to specifically include a unit of the executive branch, Council of State, UNC, and State Board of Community Colleges. Changes the term "State-owned"" to ""State-owned property"" and expands it to also include inventory, farm products, goods, and consumer goods in the State possession, as well as personal property seized or acquired by the State; specifically excludes real property. Amends the definition of surplus property to now mean State-owned property that is obsolete, unused, or no longer needed by a State agency. Authorizes the General Assembly and the Judicial Department to sell or otherwise dispose of State-owned or surplus property within their possession and control."
