In the course of amending the Legal Deposit Act the Ministry of Culture developed the draft Storage Copy Act, which the Government approved and presented to the Riigikogu on 10. December 2015. The main purpose of the draft legislation is to update the submission, collecting and preserving of publications important for the Estonian culture. The draft legislation takes into account the digital developments of the future and includes publications regardless of their form and way of distribution – printed publications and films published from 2017 will no longer have to be digitised separately, as the digital source material will be submitted together with the completed publication. 

The Storage Copy Act is planned to come into force in 1 September 2017.
