Libraries - As introduced, requires public libraries established by a county, city, or town to adopt a materials reconsideration policy that provides a process by which any legal resident of the county where the library is located may request that the library withdraw an item from the library's collection or reclassify or move the item to a different area in the library. - Amends TCA Title 10.

Summary

The bill forces every public library in Tennessee to adopt a written policy that lets any legal resident of the library’s county submit a request to withdraw, move, or re‑classify an item in the collection. The library board must act on the request within set timeframes and its decision is final for up to 30 months. The measure gives residents a formal avenue to challenge library materials while limiting how often such challenges can be made.
