Section 18-10J-5 requires all publishers of textbooks or other instructional materials sold to the state or any local education agency, including post-secondary institutions, to furnish computer diskettes for literary subjects in the American standard code for information interchange from which braille versions can be produced.

Section 18-10J-5 further requires those publishers to furnish computer diskettes in that code for nonliterary subjects, including natural sciences, computer science, mathematics and music, when braille specialty code translation software is available.
