Summary

This amendment would make the following changes to House Bill 119: 1. Require school library materials under review to be briefly removed from student access during the review process. School staff would continue to have access during the review period. The review would be required to be completed within 30 days of the initial receipt of the objection. 2. Limit the review of any specific school library material by requiring a one-year period between the end of the review process and the filing of a new objection. This change would prevent bad actors from seeking to keep targeted material out of circulation by filing repeated challenges. 3. Expand those with standing to file an objection to school library material to include school district residents. The current language of the bill would exclude potential objections of most school district residents and taxpayers. This aspect of the amendment seeks to correct this inadvertent oversight by including these stakeholders.
