What’s in it
AI summary City councils would gain more control over how they hire library directors and how they spend library tax money. Instead of asking voters to approve changes to library boards or projects through a special election, local leaders could make these decisions themselves by passing a city ordinance.1
Read the official explanation
This bill relates to city library directors and city library policies and initiatives. Under current law, a city council may, on its own motion, or shall, upon receipt of a valid petition, submit a proposal to alter the composition, selection process, or charge of the library board to the voters of the city. The bill strikes this provision and allows a city council to oversee and change the hiring practice for a library director and utilize library tax moneys for library projects and initiatives by ordinance and without a referendum.
