SCS/SB 1195 - This act authorizes the board of directors of a fire protection district to distribute surplus supplies or property to volunteer fire protection associations, other fire protection districts, fire departments, or to eligible donees, as described in the act.

Any surplus supplies or property that is not transferred may be sold. If the value of the item is less than five hundred dollars it may be sold without an auction, provided the board collects certain information from the purchaser. If the item has a value over five hundred dollars, the board must auction the item using sealed bids.

This act is similar to a provision in HCS/SB 189 (2025).
