Assembly Bill 1548 (Solorio - 2007)

Chapter 574, Statutes of 2007, AB 1548

Some bill research does not include the Governor's file because at the time we researched the bill, the sitting Governor had not released his chaptered bill file. If the Governor's file is not included with this particular research, please contact our office (1-530-666-1917 or quote@legintent.com) and we will be happy to provide this file at no charge if it is available. Please Note: Governor files did not exist prior to 1943.

Establishes the College Textbook Transparency Act requiring publishers and bookstores offering textbooks for sale to public colleges and universities to disclose specified information and requiring faculty and other employees of public higher education to follow specified practices in the adoption and purchase of textbooks.

Proponents argue that by providing more information to students and adopters of college textbooks, this bill allows them to make educated selections of course materials. It would also remove some incentives for adopters to choose inferior or excessively expensive materials for reasons of self-interest.
