A bill for an act relating to public library requirements for materials harmful to minors, and providing civil and criminal penalties, and including effective date and applicability provisions.

Summary

The bill defines "material harmful to minors" and creates an "adult section" in public libraries where such items must be kept separate. A minor may only check out or view this material if a parent provides written authorization that the library must keep on file. Libraries that let minors access the material without consent, help them bypass the rule, or give false information could face civil or criminal penalties.
