"(c) In the event that no State agencies or volunteer fire departments request such materiel within the 2-week period, the Division of Purchasing shall transfer the materiel to an appropriate storage area. The materiel can then be made available to other political subdivisions, non-profit organizations, or the general public at reasonable cost as determined by the Division. The Division may arrange for public auction of such materiel when the quantity or size of the materiel makes removal from the site of the disposing agency unwarranted, or when it is in the best interest of the State."

The materiel shall be sold to the highest bidder at such auction. Any materiel remaining after being offered at such
auction shall be disposed of by the Department of Administrative Services in the best interests of the State. All proceeds from such auctions shall be deposited with the State Treasurer."
Section 4. Amend Title 29, §7002(e) of the Delaware Code by striking the third sentence in its entirety.
