AN ACT relating to the provision of legal research resources.

The bill title and primary purpose were changed from establishing 'county law libraries' to providing 'legal research resources,' reflecting a shift from physical collections to digital access options.

The mandatory requirement for counties to acquire and maintain physical books and volumes was removed, replaced with language allowing counties to provide electronic access in lieu of bound volumes.

A new section was added authorizing the state to purchase and provide bound volumes or electronic access to Supreme Court and Court of Appeals opinions for libraries and courts upon request.
