Plain-language change summary

The latest version of Bill HB 697 adds a requirement for nonprofits to report their activities related to receiving surplus computer equipment before they can receive future donations. Specifically, these nonprofits must now provide information on how they have donated refurbished computers to low-income students or households. This change is important because it aims to ensure accountability and transparency in how surplus equipment is used to benefit underserved communities. With this requirement, lawmakers hope to better track the impact of these donations.
