VT Senate passes library patron confidentiality bill
On Friday, Feb. 22, 2008, the Vermont Senate passed S. 220, “An act relating to the confidentiality of library patron records.” The bill as passed largely reflects the language proposed by Vermont Library Association and Vermont School Library Association, except that it grants parental access to records of public library patrons under the age of 16. We expect the House Judiciary to take up consideration of the companion House bill (H. 745) soon.
