A bill for an act relating to policies and protection measures a library provider or third party contracting with a library provider must take if the library provider or third party offers digital library services.
Subcommittee recommends amendment and passage.
Summary
The bill mandates that any public library provider—such as state agencies, cities, library districts, public schools, or nonpublic schools—must adopt policies that prevent minors from accessing child pornography, hard‑core pornography, obscene material, drug‑related content, and visual depictions of minors when using digital library services. If a library contracts with a third‑party to provide the service, the contractor must follow the same safeguards and the contract must contain specific penalty and reporting clauses. The attorney general is charged with investigating and enforcing compliance.
