Bill > SB523

This bill requires local school districts to adopt and publicly post policies describing the materials authorized for use by students in the district and outlining procedures to address complaints alleging that material is harmful or age-inappropriate. The bill mandates that by November 1, 2025, each local school board must adopt these policies and post them on the district website. The complaint resolution process outlined in the bill includes steps for investigating complaints, determining whether material is harmful or inappropriate, and allowing for appeals to the school board. All decisions and communications related to this process are considered public records under the law.
