AI Summary
This bill amends existing law regarding school library media programs to clarify what constitutes "community standards" when acquiring materials for students. Specifically, it adds language to the law stating that "community standards" for the purpose of selecting library materials shall not include depictions or descriptions of sexually explicit conduct, as that term is defined in another section of Oklahoma law (Section 1024.1 of Title 21). The bill also specifies an effective date of November 1, 2026.
