Bill > HB1238

This bill prohibits the state librarian from disbursing funds to libraries that offer obscene materials to children. Specifically, it requires libraries to adopt policies that address the appropriateness of materials for minors, prohibit the use of funds for child pornography or obscene materials, allow parents to determine materials available to their children, and prevent the display of age-inappropriate materials in areas designated for minors. Libraries must submit their policies to the state librarian to be eligible for state or federal funding. Violations can result in civil penalties and legal action by injured parties.
