1. (a) The State Librarian may negotiate with publishers of e-books and e-audiobooks on behalf of libraries on reasonable terms that would enable libraries to acquire necessary licenses to provide library users with access to e-books or e-audiobooks.

2. (b) The reasonable terms under subsection (a) must include:

   1. (1) The number of users a library may simultaneously allow to access an e-book or e-audiobook.
   2. (2) The number of days a library may allow a user to access an e-book or e-audiobook.

   3. (3) The use of technological protection measures that would prevent a user from:

      2. (ii) allowing other users to access an e-book or e-audiobook.
