EXPLANATION
21
The
inclusion
of
this
explanation
does
not
constitute
agreement
with
22
the
explanation’s
substance
by
the
members
of
the
general
assembly.
23
This
bill
relates
to
the
duties
of
the
department
of
24
administrative
services
(DAS).
25
The
bill
eliminates
the
requirement
that
the
state
librarian
26
submit
a
biennial
report
to
the
governor
on
the
activities
of
27
DAS
relating
to
library
services.
As
the
eliminated
provision
28
contains
the
only
biennial
report
in
the
Code
for
the
state
29
librarian,
the
bill
also
strikes
a
corresponding
provision
30
applying
general
biennial
reporting
requirements
to
the
state
31
librarian.
32
Under
Code
section
8E.210,
DAS
is
still
obligated
to
33
prepare
an
annual
report
of
its
performance,
including
how
it
34
has
reallocated
resources
in
the
previous
fiscal
year,
for

submission
to
the
department
of
management.
1
The
bill
strikes
the
requirement
that
DAS
develop
and
2
approve
a
biennial
unified
plan
of
service
and
service
delivery
3
for
DAS
as
part
of
DAS’s
library
services.
4
The
bill
strikes
DAS’s
obligation
to
establish
and
5
administer
standards
for
state
agency
libraries.
6
The
bill
eliminates
a
reference
to
“access
plus
programs”
7
of
public
libraries
for
purposes
of
the
duty
of
the
department
8
to
support
such
programs
under
the
enrich
Iowa
program,
and
9
substitutes
the
term
“interlibrary
loan
programs”
for
such
10
purposes.
11
The
bill
requires
DAS
to
make
the
report
on
state
employee
12
salaries
available
on
its
internet
site
and
to
provide
an
13
electronic
copy
of
the
report
to
any
person
upon
request
and
14
payment
of
a
fee.
The
bill
also
strikes
the
requirement
that
15
DAS
provide
without
charge
an
electronic
copy
of
the
report
to
16
each
caucus
of
the
general
assembly,
the
legislative
services
17
agency,
the
chief
clerk
of
the
house
of
representatives,
and
18
the
secretary
of
the
senate.
