House Bill No. 2413 amends the Local Government Code by adding Section 263.1521, which grants county commissioners courts the authority to dispose of sensitive media devices. A "sensitive media device" is defined as a data storage device that contains information regulated by state or federal law. The bill allows for the destruction of such devices if they are classified as salvage or surplus property and if the commissioners court determines that destruction is necessary to prevent inadvertent disclosure of sensitive information during disposal.

This legislation overrides existing provisions in Section 263.152, thereby providing counties with a clearer framework for handling sensitive media devices. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, allowing counties to implement the new disposal procedures for sensitive media devices in compliance with the updated regulations.
