Summary

The bill would obligate each district’s school board to create a policy that controls which books can be sold at school book fairs. It specifically bars titles that contain sexual content, sexual orientation, or gender‑identity themes, and sets up review and cancellation steps. The goal is to let schools prevent those books from being offered to students at fairs.
