Bill > HB1574

This bill prohibits the state librarian from disbursing funds to libraries that offer obscene materials to children. Specifically, the bill requires libraries receiving state or federal funding to adopt policies addressing the appropriateness of materials for minors, restricting access to pornographic or obscene content, and allowing parents to determine what materials their children can access. Libraries must submit these policies to the state librarian and face civil penalties for non-compliance. The bill also allocates a portion of certain tax revenues to support public libraries, including for the maintenance and repair of library facilities.
