RELATING TO LICENSING OF ELECTRONIC LITERARY MATERIAL.

Summary

The bill sets rules that stop publishers from adding contract terms that limit how Hawaiian libraries can lend, preserve, or price electronic books and audiobooks. It applies to any agreement between a library and a publisher or aggregator, and treats prohibited clauses as unfair and unenforceable. Enforcement won’t begin until another state passes a comparable law.
