SF 213: Relating to library services provided by the department of administrative services

What it does

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.
