Bill Summary

CONCERNING FREE AUDIO NEWS SERVICES FOR PERSONS WHO ARE PRINT-DISABLED, AND, IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, MAKING AN APPROPRIATION.

AI Summary

This bill aims to expand the availability and accessibility of on-demand news and information services for Coloradans who are blind or print-disabled. It amends existing state law to recognize the importance of such services and authorizes the state librarian to administer funds from the Reading Services for the Blind Cash Fund to support these services. The bill requires the expansion of services to include information sharing, technical support, and education about assistive technologies. It also appropriates $200,000 from the General Fund to the Department of Education for use by library programs to implement the act.
