Current through Register Vol. XLI, No. 50, December 13, 2024
Section 155-5-4 - Administration4.1. The director shall receive obsolete equipment as so designated by the appropriate officer within the agency, and shall store it or hold it in an appropriate place so as to avoid any damage or degradation of the integrity of the obsolete equipment.4.2. The director shall keep a record of: all such obsolete equipment received, and what, if anything is not functional on the obsolete equipment. Upon receipt and inspection, the director shall then devise an organizational plan for offering the obsolete equipment for donation. Under this section, as part of his or her organizational plan, the director may hold such obsolete equipment until he or she determines that the equipment should be donated so as to maximize its usefulness. An example of such a hold over would be holding a computer monitor until a computer becomes available and thereafter, at the time required by this rule, offering for donation the two units together as one item.4.3. The director shall receive such obsolete equipment and may, if the expense for doing so is minimal, repair such equipment to the extent repair is deemed reasonably by the director. Nothing in this rule, however, may require the director to repair obsolete equipment prior to offering it for donation. He or she must only disclose to applicants any repairs that, to the best of the directors knowledge, need to be undertaken to make the obsolete equipment fully functional.4.4. Nothing in this rule may be construed to require the director or the agency to maintain the obsolete equipment after it has been donated. Once equipment is donated it is no longer the property or obligation of the agency.4.5. The director shall initiate whenever he or she deems necessary, the offering of obsolete equipment to eligible institutions.
