HB 290
AN ACT relating to the provision of legal research resources.
In Plain Language
This bill changes Kentucky state law to let county law libraries spend their money on computer-based legal research tools, internet service, and computers and equipment. Right now, the law doesn't clearly allow them to spend funds on these things, even though they need them to help people access legal information.
Official summary
Amend KRS 172.100 and 172.200, relating to county law libraries, to ensure that law library funds can be expended for subscriptions to computer-assisted legal research, internet access, and computers and related equipment.
