LIBRARY SYSTEMS-BOOK BANNING

SignedThe governor has signed the bill into law.

Reinserts the provisions of the introduced bill with the following changes: changes references to "public library or library system" to "library or library system"; provides that an alternative to the development of a written statement (rather than policy) prohibiting the practice of banning books is to adopt the American Library Association's Library Bill of Rights that indicates materials should not be proscribed or removed because of partisan or doctrinal disapproval; and provides that the written statement shall declare that an adequate collection (rather than stock) of books and other materials is needed in a sufficient size and varied in kind and subject matter to satisfy the library needs of the people of the State. Makes conforming changes.
