Bill > HB1041

This bill makes several changes to South Dakota's state library laws by amending existing statutes and repealing multiple sections related to the State Library Board and library services. Specifically, the bill modifies Section 2-13-12 to maintain existing provisions about distributing session laws to the Supreme Court and Legislative Research Council, updates Section 14-1-40 to reaffirm the state's policy on library services by emphasizing their importance as a government function and promoting cooperation between libraries, and revises Section 14-1-44 to outline the State Library Office's continued responsibilities, which include promoting library services, supporting library personnel through education programs, collecting library statistics, and providing accessible reading resources like Braille and talking books. The bill also eliminates several existing statutory sections (Sections 1-45-26, 14-1-45, 14-1-47, 14-1-51, 14-1-55, 14-1-56, 14-1-59, 14-1-60, 14-1-64, and 14-1A-2), effectively streamlining and updating the legal framework governing state library services and the State Library Board.
