• If you publish or manufacture textbooks sold to a Nebraska school district or educational service unit, the purchase contract requires you to provide, at no cost, computer files or other electronic versions of each textbook title purchased (Neb. Rev. Stat. 79-734.01(1)(a)).
• Give the school district or educational service unit the right to transcribe, reproduce, modify and distribute each textbook title in braille, in large print if you do not offer a large-print edition, or in other specialized accessible media, for its students who are blind or visually impaired (79-734.01(1)(b)).
• Provide the files within thirty days after the district or unit requests them, with the structural integrity of the standard instructional materials, compatible with commonly used braille translation and speech synthesis software, and with corrections and revisions as necessary (79-734.01(2)(a) and (b)).
• If you willfully fail to comply with the contract, reimburse the district or unit for the cost of creating the computer files or electronic versions (79-734.01(2)(d)).
• If you are a school district or educational service unit, include these terms in every contract for the purchase of textbooks (79-734.01(1) and (2)).
