Bill Analysis

HB 3730 would require the State Library and Archives Commission to purchase online library resources for primary and secondary schools that have adopted certain internet safety policies and technology protection measures. The vendor the commission selects to provide the resources must certify that the resources are in compliance with specified federal internet security and safety laws. The commission would use funds appropriated by the legislature and fees collected from participating school districts.
