What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill allows a tribal college-county joint library to participate in a public

library system. A tribal college-county joint library is established when a county

board enters into a qualifying agreement with a tribal college to maintain a public

library for the county. The agreement must require that the tribal college annually

provide to the county library board an accounting of the expenditure of any

appropriations received from the county and that, subject to certain reasonable

regulations, the tribal college make the library free for the use of the inhabitants of

the county. Also under this bill, a county with a tribal college-county joint library

must have a three member library board, with members appointed by the tribal

college, the American Indian tribe or band that controls the college, and the county

board. The library board is responsible for any duties conferred upon it by the

agreement, advising the library, and filing an annual report on the library's finances

and operations.
