Details below for those who haven't seen it already. Chris ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Katie Steen-James Date: Wed, Mar 22, 2023 at 9:19?AM Subject: New IL State Bill: $3M for OER To: Bbailey-Hainer , Robert (Jay) Malone < rmalone at ala.org>, Kara Malenfant , , Sdaviska , , Torsten Reimer , Rheabt , Cc: Nicole Allen Dear Illinois SPARC Members, We wanted to let you know about an exciting bill we are tracking in the Illinois General Assembly! House Bill 4022 would provide $3 million for a recurring, permanent Open Educational Resources (OER) grant program in the state. The money would be appropriated to the Secretary of State's office for use by Illinois' academic libraries. We support the bill for a couple of reasons: - It focuses specifically on funding for OER as the most effective state investment to address course material costs versus one-time payments through other models. - A recurring investment can support robust OER programs over time that benefit students as we?ve seen in states like Colorado and Georgia . While the bill doesn?t define OER, it is important to remind lawmakers of the definition of OER as recommended by the Midwestern Higher Education Compact (MHEC): Open Education Resources (OER) are teaching, learning, or research resources that are offered freely to users in at least one form and that either reside in the public domain or have been released under an open copyright license that allows for its free use, reuse, modification, and sharing with attribution. We are in contact with the Consortium of Academic and Research Libraries in Illinois (CARLI) to understand their approach to the bill and how SPARC can best support those efforts. The bill comes after recent attempts by the commercial publishers to increase inclusive or "equitable" access programs in Illinois through their participation in the College Course Materials Affordability and Equitable Access Task Force , which released a concerning study (see SPARC's public feedback ) to the legislature on March 1, 2023. We anticipate publishers may try to leverage that study to convince lawmakers to allow for the $3 million in OER funding to be used on inclusive access programs. I will update you all with more information about our plans as they are developed. In the meantime, please let me know if you have any questions or plan to engage your government relations offices on the bill.
