S.B. No. 60 amends the Education Code by adding Section 130.01015, which outlines the procedures for public junior college libraries regarding the disposition of certain library materials. The bill defines "library materials" to include periodicals, books, e-books, tapes, and other media. It allows libraries to donate materials that are either duplicates of existing items in their collection or are deemed unsuitable for inclusion due to age, condition, or outdated content, provided these materials have little or no monetary value.
This legislation aims to streamline the process for public junior college libraries to manage their collections effectively by enabling them to donate materials that are no longer useful. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, following its passage in both the Senate and the House with unanimous support.
