HSB 113 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to library services provided by the department of administrative services.

HSB 113 establishes the "enrich Iowa" program within the Department of Administrative Services (DAS) to provide direct state funding to eligible public libraries. The program supports open access and interlibrary loan services, ties funding to compliance with DAS performance measures, and aims to reduce service inequities between communities. Key changes include replacing outdated references to "access plus programs" with "interlibrary loan programs" and eliminating obsolete reporting requirements for the state librarian and DAS library planning. The bill removes provisions mandating biennial reports and unified service plans, streamlining DAS's administrative duties related to library services. This affects public libraries meeting DAS performance standards to qualify for state assistance.
