SB46

Establishes the blind information access act to provide on-demand information access services to blind, visually impaired, deafblind, or print.

The bill establishes the blind information access act, which mandates the state librarian to contract with an organization to deliver on-demand information access services to individuals who are blind, visually impaired, deafblind, or print disabled. These services include access to digital content through audio and braille-reading technologies, as well as other related services. The state librarian estimates the cost of these services and certifies it to the director of accounts and reports and the Kansas universal service fund administrator.
