The sponsor's argument

Why Shelley Mayer says this is needed

Chapter 618 of the laws of 1998 and subsequent extensions allow poli- tical subdivisions to donate surplus computer equipment through SED's C.R.E.A.T.E. Programs (§ 318 of education law). To date, hundreds of computers have been donated to local schools, libraries and other not- for-profit organizations. This bill will extend this law and allow local governments to continue to dispose of surplus computer equipment in a fair and equitable manner until July 1, 2028.

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.
