Maddy summaryThis bill protects libraries in New York by prohibiting restrictive clauses in contracts between publishers and libraries regarding electronic books and audiobooks. It directly affects public, school, academic, and research libraries by ensuring they can license digital materials without limitations on core functions like lending, setting loan periods, or using technological protection measures. The legislation declares contracts containing these prohibited provisions unenforceable and allows libraries or the attorney general to seek legal remedies, including fines, against publishers who violate the rules.
