Surplus Property
Statutory and Regulatory Basis
The 2010 Legislature amended the State Surplus Property Act to exempt state universities
from the Act (K.S.A. 2010 Supp. 75-6606). State law now permits state universities
to sell, trade-in or dispose of personal property in accordance with policies adopted
by the Board. Section 13.12 of the 萝莉社 Policies and Procedures Manual also governs the disposition of University surplus property.
