What’s in it

This bill relates to library services provided by the department of administrative services (DAS). The bill eliminates the requirement that the state librarian submit a biennial report to the governor on the activities of 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.210, DAS is still obligated to prepare reports of its progress in meeting goals from its agency strategic plan and operational plan.

Read the full explanation

The bill strikes the requirement that DAS develop and approve a biennial unified plan of service and service delivery for DAS as part of DAS’s library services. The bill strikes DAS’s obligation to establish and administer standards for state agency libraries. The bill eliminates a reference to “access plus programs” of public libraries for purposes of DAS’s duty to support such programs under the enrich Iowa program, and substitutes the term “interlibrary loan programs” for such purposes.
