A bill for an act modifying provisions related to public libraries that are eligible to receive state assistance under the enrich Iowa program.
HF 880 modifies eligibility for Iowa's "enrich Iowa" program, which provides state funding to public libraries. The bill adds that libraries seeking this funding must not be dues-paying members of two specific types of advocacy organizations: national nonprofits promoting library legislation nationally, or state-focused nonprofits advocating for library-related policies within Iowa. This change directly affects public libraries that currently qualify for enrich Iowa assistance but belong to such organizations. The policy shift aims to adjust who qualifies for state library support without altering the program's core goals of improving access and reducing service inequities.
