Summary
The purpose of this bill is to update the provisions of the code addressing the adoption of instructional resources. In furtherance of this objective the bill includes the following provisions; (1) Defining “instructional resources”; (2) requiring publishers of electronic text books to file certain statements with the State Superintendent of Schools concerning wholesale pricing; (3) providing certain procedures to be taken if a publisher breaches a contract in relation to the provision of instructional resources; (4) prohibiting any county board of education to use instructional resources furnished by a publisher who has not complied with the requirements of the article; (5) providing that supplementary instructional resources do not apply to the provisions of the article; (6) requiring county boards of education to furnish free of charge necessary instructional resources; and (7) prohibiting employees of boards of education to act as sales agents for any provider of instructional resources. The bill also repeals section 9 of the article which addresses persons who provide gifts and bribes in order to influence adoption of instructional resources, which, under current law constitutes a felony. This article has been completely rewritten, and therefore is completely underscored.
