Comments
Hey, guys—bill summaries are helpful.
It looks to me like the point of this bill is to prohibit local school boards from adopting electronic textbooks unless they can ensure that all students will have access to those textbooks in their homes, by having their own computer and an internet connection that's at least 256 kbps (which is quite slow).
