s 20317. Consolidation of Regional Library Networks.

(a) If any two or more regional library networks whose borders are
contiguous wish to consolidate, a joint notice of intent, approved by the
regional network councils of the consolidating regional library networks,
shall be filed with the state board no later than September 1 of the
fiscal year immediately preceding the July 1 effective date of the
consolidation. Regional library network affiliation authorizations
approved by the institutional or public library jurisdictional governing
body of each member of the new consolidated regional library network, and
a new regional library network plan as specified in Education Code Section
18840, shall be filed with the state board no later than January 15 of the
fiscal year immediately preceding the July 1 effective date of the
consolidation.

(b) The state board's approval of requests for regional library network
consolidations shall be based on the criteria for the establishment of
regional library networks specified in Section 20316 of this subchapter
and upon the state board's determination that the consolidation provides
at least as effective a way of carrying out the purposes of the Act as
would be the case if the consolidation did not occur.

(c) For purposes of determining the eligibility of the regional library
networks and their members to receive services and funds under other
provisions of the Act, a consolidation approved by the state board shall
be considered effective beginning July 1 of the fiscal year immediately
following the fiscal year in which the consolidation authorizations are
filed. The state board may approve an earlier effective date if it
determines that such action would best serve the purposes of the Act.
