Bill > HB1315

This bill prohibits the state, its agencies, school districts, and libraries from providing digital or online resources or databases to students in kindergarten through twelfth grade or minors unless the vendor or provider verifies that the resources comply with specific safety and content restrictions. The bill requires vendors to have policies and technology measures that block access to materials such as child pornography, obscenity, and sexually-oriented content. It also outlines penalties for vendors who fail to comply, including contract breaches, payment reductions, and contract termination. The bill applies to public schools, libraries, and other state-provided digital resources, but exempts higher education and dual-enrollment students.
