A bill for an act relating to library services provided by the department of administrative services.
HF 399 establishes the "enrich Iowa" program within the Department of Administrative Services to provide direct state funding to public libraries. The bill modifies how this program operates by requiring libraries to meet department-set performance measures to qualify for funds and shifting support from "access plus" programs to "interlibrary loan programs." It removes several existing requirements, including biennial reports the state librarian must submit to the governor, a biennial unified service plan, and the department's obligation to set library standards for state agency libraries. The bill directly affects public libraries seeking state funding for services like interlibrary loans and performance-based improvements.
