An act relating to requiring legislative approval prior to closing or reducing the size or scope of any Vermont State College Library

This bill requires legislative approval before Vermont State Colleges can close or reduce the size or scope of their physical libraries. It also prevents these colleges from cutting library staff positions or hours below the levels that existed on January 1, 2023 without getting permission from the legislature. The measure directly affects the Vermont State Colleges system and their library operations by adding a new approval step for library-related changes. If a college wants to make these reductions, it must seek approval from the state legislature before proceeding.
