The bill mandates a legislative management study during the 2025-26 interim to evaluate the feasibility and desirability of requiring state agency libraries, including the state library and those at institutions under the state board of higher education, to retain copies of books or written materials that contain the original text. This requirement would apply when publishers release new versions that update the language to be more socially progressive, politically correct, inclusive, or less socially offensive.

Additionally, the study will analyze the impact of artificial intelligence on the retention of library materials, including how such materials are updated or altered and the fiscal and operational implications of collection management. The findings and recommendations from this study, along with any necessary legislation for implementation, will be reported to the seventieth legislative assembly.
