Article 6.5. State Surplus Personal Property of California Public Contract Code >> Division 2. >> Part 2. >> Chapter 2. >> Article 6.5.
The Department of General Services, if feasible and
consistent with existing law, shall first offer appropriate state
surplus personal property to school districts prior to offering that
property to the public, except for property more appropriately suited
for public safety uses. The department may offer school districts
state surplus personal property at less than fair market value, if it
is determined by the Director of General Services to be in the best
interests of the state. The department shall develop policies and
procedures for the implementation of this article.
(a) The department's policies and procedures regarding the
disposition of state surplus computers, laptops, monitors, and
related computer equipment shall do all of the following:
(1) Facilitate the disposition of state surplus computers to further the state policy of bridging the digital divide, as described in subdivision (d) of Section 709 of the Public Utilities Code.
(2) Authorize nonprofit entities that, in partnership with a school district, operate a public computer center to further the state policy of bridging the digital divide, as described in subdivision (d) of Section 709 of the Public Utilities Code, to be eligible for receipt of state surplus computers under Section 10389.1 and through approved disposition directly from a state agency.
(3) Include a procedure enabling state agencies with surplus computers to ascertain whether the nonprofit entities described in paragraph (2) are interested in receiving those surplus computers. The procedure shall include a preference for nonprofit entities within the same geographic region as the state agency in order to minimize transportation and disposition costs.
(4) Require that state agency documentation of the disposition of surplus computers include a certification that all confidential, sensitive, and personal information was removed from the computers prior to disposition.
(5) Require any nonprofit organization that obtains a computer from the department, pursuant to this article, to use the computer only for operating a public computer center and to prohibit the resale of that computer.
(b) The department, in collaboration with the California Technology Agency, shall promote increased awareness among state agency officials of the requirement to remove from all state surplus computers all confidential, sensitive, and personal information prior to any disposition of those computers.
