Prohibits contracts for procurement and licensing of electronic literary materials from including certain provisions.

Summary

The bill stops public libraries from signing agreements that restrict how they buy, lend, or protect digital books and audiobooks. It applies to contracts with publishers, aggregators, and other vendors, and makes prohibited clauses unenforceable. Violations are treated as unfair competition and can be sued over by libraries, patrons, or the attorney general.
