A bill for an act relating to the confidentiality of library records of a minor.
Subcommittee: Wheeler, Henderson and McBurney.
Summary
This legislation amends Iowa law to keep a minor's library checkout or request information confidential, except in limited situations. Records can be shared with a criminal or juvenile justice agency only after a judge finds a clear, compelling need, and can be given to a parent or guardian upon their request. The change aims to safeguard youth privacy while still permitting lawful investigations and parental access.
