Library Futures Draft Ebook Legislation

Library Futures supports legislation that aims to equitize the ebook marketplace. To that end, we have developed model legislative language grounded in state consumer protection, state contract law, state procurement law, and contract preemption. Our policy statement explains the legal rationale behind our proposed model bill.

Thank you to our community of experts for their edits, feedback, and input into this statement and bill, and thank you to Readers First and the community of library advocates who have worked for equitable ebook legislation in their states.
