Pleas see this update from Dr. Sebastian:
"This morning the House Education Committee forwarded the HB2041 to the House Appropriations Committee for a fiscal impact evaluation. Translation: the bill will most likely languish and die there, alone and unloved.
On a more positive note, there seems to have been a recognizable shift in the level of awareness of the related issues of textbook affordability and OER among members of the General Assembly since last year. I hope the bill’s sponsor, Del. Eileen Filler-Corn, will continue to advocate for and support OER efforts in the Commonwealth."
