Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 47, Chapter 25, relative to electronic literary product licenses.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 47, Chapter 25, to create the "Electronic Literary Product Act." The act requires publishers who offer to license electronic literary products (e-books and audiobooks) to the public to also offer to license them to libraries in the state on reasonable terms that would enable libraries to provide access to their users. The terms of these licenses may include limitations on the number of simultaneous users and access period, as well as the use of technological protection measures. The act also establishes civil penalties for violations, which would be considered unfair or deceptive acts under the Consumer Protection Act.
