Bill > H0806

This bill proposes to prohibit public and school libraries from banning or removing library materials, and restricts any state funding for libraries that violate the materials retention rules adopted by the State Librarian. The bill requires the State Librarian to adopt rules and model policies governing the retention of library materials, which must be at least as protective as the American Library Association's Library Bill of Rights and prohibit the practice of banning specific books or resources. Public and school libraries must adopt a materials retention policy that complies with the State Librarian's rules, and libraries that violate the rules will not qualify for state grants or funding.
