Author(s):

Description: Affordable College Textbook Act: This bill requires that within 180 days of the Act becoming effective, 4 year public or indendpent institutions of higher education, after consultation with faculty members, shall submit a plan to the Secretary of Higher Education to expand the use of open textbooks in order to achieve savings for students enrolled.
