MODERNIZATION ACT OF 2016
This bill authorizes the Library of Congress to purchase, main-
tain, or replace books published either in raised characters, on
sound-reproduction recordings, or in any other form (currently lim-
ited to reproducers of sound-reproduction recordings) for the use of
the blind and for other physically disabled U.S. residents.
The bill also establishes the Library of Congress National Collec-

The bill also provides organizational continuity on the Joint

start of a new Congress until the JCL organizational meeting can
be held by establishing that Members on the Committee during the
previous Congress will retain their positions until new Members
are appointed.
