To require publishers of electronic books to license such books to public libraries on reasonable terms.
AI Summary
This bill requires publishers of electronic books and digital audiobooks to license such works to public libraries on reasonable terms. The bill defines key terms like "digital audiobook," "electronic book," and "reasonable terms." It prohibits publishers from restricting libraries' ability to loan these digital materials, including through interlibrary loan systems, and limits the conditions publishers can place on such loans. The bill also establishes that a publisher's violation of these provisions would constitute an unfair trade practice under state law.
