This bill proposes to amend the current statute regarding the annual reporting requirements for the trustees of municipal public libraries. Under the current law, the trustees are required to submit their annual report to the governing body of the city or town on or before the first Monday of July each year. The bill would change this deadline to the second Monday of July, thereby providing an additional week for the trustees to prepare and submit their reports.

Additionally, the bill makes minor technical changes to the language of the statute. It replaces the word "Such" with "Any" in the context of the statistics and information that must be included in the report, and it clarifies that the financial report must be verified by oath by the secretary of the board of trustees. These updates aim to streamline the reporting process and ensure that the information provided is relevant and comprehensive.
