This bill proposes the repeal of the state librarian's authority to award scholarships to qualified individuals for attending graduate library schools accredited by the American Library Association. Specifically, it removes the legal language found in RSA 201-A:10, VII, which previously granted this authority.

The bill is set to take effect 60 days after its passage, with the approval date noted as June 6, 2026. This legislative change signifies a shift in the state's approach to funding education for future librarians, as it eliminates a source of financial support for students pursuing advanced degrees in library science.
