From an email received 3/11/22 from SPARC: …two big developments from the U.S. Congress. First, House and Senate lawmakers have reintroduced the Affordable College Textbook Act, a bill to expand the use and awareness of open educational resources at college and university campuses. Second, Congress approved the long-awaited fiscal year 2022 spending package last night, which includes $11 million in new funding for the Open Textbook Pilot grant program—a significant increase over last year and victory for the fifth year in a row.
