Regulation .04 State Funding.

The State Library Board shall ensure that each library that receives State funding is operated in a manner consistent with the State standards for libraries set forth in Regulation .01 of this chapter.

Receipt of State funding by a public library is contingent upon the library board of trustees or other governing body for the library adopting a written policy that is consistent with the State standards for libraries and conducting the operation of the library in a manner consistent with the written policy.

If the State Library Board certifies that a library has failed to meet the State standards for libraries, the State Library Board shall notify the Comptroller to withhold all State funds from that library.

The Comptroller shall continue to withhold funds until the State Library Board certifies that the library has adopted a written policy consistent with the State standards for libraries.
