A bill for an act relating to standards and performance measures for public libraries.

Summary

The bill changes Iowa law so that public‑library standards cannot force libraries to follow policies created by private groups unless the state specifically allows it. It also creates an "Enrich Iowa" program that gives state money to libraries that meet the department’s performance measures. The goal is to make library funding depend on state‑approved criteria and to reduce service gaps between communities.
