The Donahoe Higher Education Act, sets forth, among other things, the missions and functions of California's public and independent segments of higher education, and their respective institutions of higher education. Among other things, the act requires publishers of textbooks offered for sale at a public or a private postsecondary institution of education to make the textbooks available, in whole or in part, to the extent practicable, in an electronic format by January 1, 2020, and requires electronic versions of textbooks to include the same content as the printed versions and permits the electronic versions to be copy-protected. This bill would require the Legislative Analyst's Office to submit a report to the Legislature by June 1, 2011, with key findings on certain matters relating to electronic textbooks, including the degree to which state and federal copyright protection laws may complicate the implementation of the provisions relating to electronic versions of textbooks.
