Digest
HB 2572 prohibits public libraries, including public school libraries, from using public funds to support the American Library Association (ALA). This includes membership dues, participation in ALA-sponsored events, training programs, or any financial contributions to the organization. The bill applies only to expenditures made on or after its effective date, except for funds already committed under contracts entered into before that date. The legislation aims to prevent taxpayer dollars from being used to support the ALA, citing concerns over the organization’s influence on library policies and operations.
