1 35 EXPLANATION
2 1 This bill creates a library 2000 account in the state
2 2 library fund and makes an FY 1998-1999 appropriation to the
2 3 account from the rebuild Iowa infrastructure fund.
2 4 The account is created in Code section 256.52, which also
2 5 creates the state commission on libraries and the state
2 6 library fund. Moneys appropriated to the state library fund
2 7 are not subject to reversion at the close of a fiscal year.
2 8 However, the bill provides that moneys appropriated to the
2 9 library 2000 account which are not expended or obligated at
2 10 the close of FY 2002-2003 revert to the infrastructure fund.
2 11 The bill suspends a requirement that infrastructure fund
2 12 moneys be used for vertical infrastructure programs.
2 13 The bill includes requirements for making grants from the
2 14 library 2000 account to city libraries and county library
2 15 districts in amounts based upon the population served. Grants
2 16 cannot be used to supplant other library funding but otherwise
2 17 may be used for any library purpose. A grantee must provide
2 18 public access to a computer connected to the world wide web
2 19 internet system by January 1, 2000. Grant application
2 20 provisions and awards are to be made by the state commission
2 21 on libraries.
