How does AB 422 affect the California Community Colleges?
California Assembly Bill 422, which became effective in January 2000, requires textbook publishers to supply California Colleges with the electronic files of their books at no cost, when requested for students with print-related disabilities. It encourages California Colleges to create a central repository of electronic files so the publisher can fill a request only once, and that file will be redistributed to any California College student with a print-related disability who needs it.
