A bill for an act relating to library services provided by the department of administrative services.
This bill modifies the responsibilities of the Department of Administrative Services (DAS) concerning library services. It eliminates the requirement for the State Librarian to submit biennial reports on library activities and removes DAS's obligation to develop a biennial unified plan for its library services. The bill also removes DAS's responsibility to establish and administer standards for state agency libraries, though it retains its role in setting standards for public libraries. Additionally, it updates the terminology for the "enrich Iowa program" by replacing "access plus programs" with "interlibrary loan programs" when describing supported services.
