20-3-85. Study examining postsecondary text availability in alternative formats

The board of regents shall direct a study of the practical problems involved in obtaining and producing textbooks and other instructional materials in alternative formats for students with disabilities. In cooperation with the Technical College System of Georgia, students with disabilities, organizations and advocates for persons with disabilities, publishers, federal and state agencies concerned with opportunities for persons with disabilities, colleges and universities that are not under the direction of the board, university and college presses, counterparts in other states, and other interested persons, the board shall work toward the establishment of a system or clearing-house for sharing postsecondary texts in alternative formats while protecting the intellectual property rights of publishers. The board shall report annually to the Governor and the General Assembly regarding progress toward this goal.
