BILL NUMBER:S2856 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the education law, in relation to state aid to libraries and library systems PURPOSE: This bill would consolidate, streamline and update certain library aid programs in order to make them more cost-efficient and effective. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 273(1)(b) of the Education Law is amended to clarify and ensure that central library development aid may be used to purchase "electronic resources" in addition to books and nonprint materials. Section 273(1)(c) of the Education Law is amended to increase the per capita aid level for public library systems from 94 cents to $1.62. This change is cost-neutral as it is offset by the elimination of the cumbersome reimbursement program of 68 cents per capita for expenditures on books, periodicals, binding and nonprint materials. In addition, the automation program aid formula -- which is currently tied to the book reimbursement program -- is adjusted in 273(1)(d) to ensure that the overall funding amount for automation program aid remains the same. Section 273(1)(f)(1) of the Education Law is amended to update the existing "hold harmless" provision regarding state aid and population
