(SUCCESSOR TO HSB 592)

A BILL FOR

An Act relating to the reporting requirements of the state librarian.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF IOWA:

    Section 1.  Section 7A.3, subsection 1, paragraph f, Code 2024, is amended by striking the paragraph.
    Sec. 2.  Section 8A.204, subsection 2, paragraph b, Code 2024, is amended by striking the paragraph.
EXPLANATION
The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with
the explanation’s substance by the members of the general assembly.
   This bill eliminates the requirement that the state librarian submit a biennial report to the governor on the activities of the department of administrative services (DAS) relating to library services. As the eliminated provision contains the only biennial report in the Code for the state librarian, the bill also strikes a corresponding provision applying general biennial reporting requirements to the state librarian.
   Under Code section 8E.210, DAS is still obligated to prepare an annual report of its performance, including how it has reallocated resources in the previous fiscal year, for submission to the department of management.
