S.B. No. 60 proposes an amendment to the Education Code by adding Section 130.01015, which outlines the procedures for public junior college libraries in Texas to dispose of certain library materials. The bill defines "library materials" to include periodicals, books, e-books, tapes, and other media. It allows libraries to donate these materials to individuals or organizations if they are deemed by library staff to be duplicates of existing items in the collection or no longer suitable for inclusion due to age, condition, or outdated content, and if they possess little or no monetary value.

This legislation aims to streamline the process for public junior college libraries to manage their collections effectively while ensuring that materials that are no longer useful can be repurposed for community benefit. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
