submitted 70 years ago by ch. 1041 to r/title-10-ARMED-FORCES · 121 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

The Navy may sell extra or out-of-regulation clothing cheaply to charities, states, and cities to give to needy people, as long as the buyer promises not to resell it. Each state and D.C. must get a fair share, and that share cannot be resold elsewhere for at least 30 days.

(a) Following regulations under title 40, section 121, the Secretary of the Navy may sell nonregulation and excess clothing at nominal prices to recognized charities, states and their subdivisions, and municipalities, so it can go to people in need. The sale can only happen if the buyer agrees not to resell the clothing but instead give it away to the needy. (b) Each state and the District of Columbia must get a fair, proportional share of the clothing sold under this section. Once a share is set aside for a state, it cannot be sold for distribution elsewhere until at least 30 days have passed.
