§ 178 Disposal Of Military Property

This law lets the state get rid of military stuff that can't be used, but only after it’s inspected and approved, and any money made goes to the state’s main fund.

Key Takeaways

  • •Property must be inspected first to see if it’s unsuitable.
  • •The Department of General Services must approve any sale, destruction, or other disposal.
  • •All money from the disposal goes to the State Treasury’s General Fund.

Example

A state-owned old jeep is found to be rusted and unsafe for any military work.

After an inspection says the jeep can’t be used, the Adjutant General can, with permission from the Department of General Services, sell the jeep. The money from the sale is sent to the State Treasury and added to the General Fund.
