LIBRARIES-FEES/RECIPROCITY
Summary
Amends the Illinois Local Library Act and Public Library District Act of 1991. Provides that a library board may adopt regulations waiving the nonresident fee for persons under the age of 18. Removes language in the Illinois Local Library Act providing that nothing in the Section requires a public library to participate in the non-resident card reciprocal borrowing program of a regional library system. Effective immediately. Senate Committee Amendment No. 1 In provisions relating to the board of library trustees' powers to extend the privileges and use of the library to nonresidents, restores a stricken provision providing that a nonresident fee shall not apply to a nonresident in an unincorporated area in Illinois who is a student whose household falls at or below the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Income Eligibility Guidelines. Makes grammatical corrections.
