Bill > H7113

This bill would require publishers to provide electronic book (e-book) and digital audiobook licenses to all public, private, academic, and educational libraries in the state on reasonable terms, allowing libraries and schools to provide their users and students with access to such electronic materials. Any contract or license provisions that restrict or limit a library's or school's ability to loan, circulate, or make preservation copies of these electronic materials would be considered void and unenforceable, and the knowing inclusion of such provisions would be considered an unfair and deceptive trade practice. This bill would take effect upon passage.
