The bill, sponsored by Assemblymember Mike Fong, was amended and approved by the Education and Higher Education committees with unanimous consent.
What changed
Assembly Bill AB2726 adds three new sections to the California Education Code governing the disposal of surplus technology property by local educational agencies.

- Update procedures to align with new Education Code sections 1279.5, 17549.5, and 81455.5
