[Libs-Or] Fwd: Re: [Publib] SAFE act moving through the House

[Diedre Conkling]

 I know, you are all saying what ever happened to those millions of posts
from Diedre.  Well, libs-0r will no longer let me post from my
charter.netaccount so I had to decide on another approach.  I still
don't have it all
worked out yet since it really requires changing most of my mail to make it
again semi-convenient to pass along these bits and pieces about legislative
issues on to you.  Oh well, that is life in the wild world of the Internet.

So, below is a bill that I think may be of interest to all of us that
provide free wi-fi at our libraries.  It is part of a discussion from
PUBLIB.

Though the ALA Washington Office does not seem to have more detailed
information on how this will affect libraries we can go to their site at
http://www.capwiz.com/ala/issues/bills/?billnum=H.R.3791&congress=110&size=fulland
see more about the bill and use the site to send a message to
Representatives and Senators.

What can folks in library land tell us about this recent event?

"The U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday overwhelmingly approved a
bill saying that anyone offering an open Wi-Fi connection to the public must
report illegal images including "obscene" cartoons and drawings--or face
fines of up to $300,000."
