Counties, municipalities, etc. authorized to donate money, property, etc. to organizations deemed public in nature.

(a) It is the intent of the Legislature that this section provides assistance to organized volunteer fire departments and organized rescue squads including South Alabama Air Rescue, Incorporated, and other nonprofit organizations which provide air rescue services to the public. The Legislature deems these organizations public in nature, as they protect the health, safety, and welfare of the public.

(b) The state, any county, any municipality, any fire, water, sewer, garbage, or school district, or any other public governmental entity or political subdivision may donate money, property, equipment, or other thing of value to those organizations deemed public in nature as specified in subsection (a). If disposed of, it will return to the agency where it was obtained.
