AI Summary
This bill requires school boards to adopt policies governing library media collections and the reconsideration of library materials. The collection development policy must outline criteria for the selection and deaccession of library materials, and prohibit proscribing or including materials primarily based on protected characteristics or viewpoint. The reconsideration policy must establish a process for parents or guardians to request the reconsideration of library materials, and stipulate that access to the material under review cannot be removed or restricted during the review process. The bill also requires school districts to adopt a policy for handling complaints from parents or guardians alleging that material is harmful to minors, age-inappropriate, or otherwise offensive or inappropriate, which includes timelines for investigation, determination, and appeal to the school board.
