Bill Summary
To amend section 5747.48 and to enact section 3375.68 of the Revised Code to require each board of public library trustees to adopt a policy that prohibits its libraries from displaying matter harmful to juveniles and to redistribute the public library funds of libraries that fail to do so.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Ohio Revised Code to require public libraries to adopt a policy that prohibits the display of materials harmful to juveniles and to redistribute the public library funds of libraries that fail to do so. The bill defines "harmful to juveniles" as specified in the existing law, and requires libraries to either prohibit minors from borrowing or viewing such materials without parental consent, or to conceal the materials from the view of juveniles. The bill also establishes a complaint process with the state library board to enforce these requirements, and allows the county treasurer to withhold public library funding from non-compliant libraries until they are found to be in compliance.
