The bill creates the E-Book
Higher Education Task Force, consisting of five members appointed by the
Chancellor of the Board of Regents (BOR).
The Chancellor must provide administrative support for the task force, which
will study and provide recommendations for implementation of e-book programs at
state institutions of higher education.
The task force must report its findings by April 1, 2009. Following the task force's report, the
Chancellor must begin implementation of e-book programs at all state institutions
by July 1, 2009. One year following the
implementation of e-book programs, the task force will reconvene and report
recommendations for possible improvements.
BOR may incur administrative
costs to support the operations of the task force. Depending on the task force's recommendations and the methods of
implementing e-book programs, the program implementation could further increase
the administrative costs of BOR and state institutions of higher
education.
