Law librarians are urging state representatives to enact the Uniform Electronic Legal Material Act, which requires government publishers of primary legal materials in electronic format to authenticate, preserve and provide permanent access to these resources. The act was drafted and approved by the Uniform Law Commission in July 2011.
In California, core members from various government and library organizations are diligently working with key legislators to enact UELMA legislation. Tennessee just introduced Senate Bill 2894, and might well be the first state to introduce legislation to enact the act. Other states not far behind are Connecticut, Colorado, Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota, Nebraska, Ohio and Wisconsin.
