The sponsor's argument

Why Jeremy Cooney says this is needed

Many surplus property programs administered by state agencies in New York are antiquated and have unintended environmental consequences. The Office of General Services' surplus process for state assets requires that excess property be offered for further state use within an agency; to offer said property to other agencies if unclaimed within the origi- nating agency; to offer said property to municipalities if the property remains further unclaimed; and finally to offer such property for sale at auction to the public if it remains unclaimed. If surplus property is not sold at auction, current state policy requires that the property is landfilled or incinerated if recycling options do not exist. This proc- ess can result in the unnecessary disposal of property purchased with state funds which oftentimes may have additional years of usefulness. By allowing donations of unused state property to pre-approved non-profit organizations, this legislation would allow New York to shrink the envi- ronmental impact of excess state property while supporting charitable organizations.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
