Legislative Information
- legislative agenda
- detailed background papers
- status report of pending legislation and budget initiatives
The Library Development and Legislation Committee (LD&L) is responsible for recommending legislative policies and agendas to the WLA Board of Directors. No other entity within WLA may speak for the organization on matters of legislative policy; however, all units and leadership are strongly encouraged to stay abreast of legislative developments and communicate their opinions to LD&L and the Board.
You can help build library legislative advocates by communicating key WLA legislative issues in ways that make sense to your unit's membership. IFRT, for example, can highlight bills that may have an impact on intellectual freedom. WAAL can share information about bills affecting academic libraries.
