AI Summary
This bill increases funding for the Electronic Library for Minnesota by appropriating $2.9 million in both fiscal years 2026 and 2027 to support statewide licenses for online databases. These licenses will be available to a diverse range of institutions, including school media centers, public libraries, state government agency libraries, and public and private college or university libraries. The appropriation will be made from the state's general fund to the Department of Education, and the database selections will be made in cooperation with the Minnesota Office of Higher Education. By providing consistent funding for these online resources, the bill aims to improve access to digital information and research materials across various educational and public institutions in Minnesota.
