BY  (PROPOSED DEPARTMENT OF ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES BILL)

A BILL FOR

An Act relating to support of interlibrary loan programs by the department of administrative services under the enrich Iowa program.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF IOWA:

    Section 1.  Section 8A.209, subsection 1, Code 2024, is amended to read as follows:
   1.  An enrich Iowa program is established in the department to provide direct state assistance to public libraries, to support the open access and access plus interlibrary loan programs, to provide public libraries with an incentive to improve library services that are in compliance with performance measures, and to reduce inequities among communities in the delivery of library services based on performance measures adopted by rule by the commission. The commission shall adopt rules governing the allocation of funds appropriated by the general assembly for purposes of this section to provide direct state assistance to eligible public libraries. A public library is eligible for funds under this subchapter if it is in compliance with the commission’s performance measures.
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 a reference to “access plus programs” of public libraries for purposes of the duty of the department of administrative services to support such programs under the enrich Iowa program, and substitutes the term “interlibrary loan programs” for such purposes.
