The proposed bill amends Arkansas Code Title 6, Chapter 25, Subchapter 1, by adding a new section, 6-25-107, which mandates that library media centers in public elementary schools (serving kindergarten through grade five) must store non-age-appropriate sexual content in locked compartments within a designated area. The bill specifies that students are prohibited from viewing or checking out such materials unless prior written approval is obtained from a parent, legal guardian, or person standing in loco parentis.

Additionally, the bill outlines compliance measures for school personnel. If an individual is found to have knowingly failed to comply with the new regulations, the principal and superintendent must document the incident. A first violation may result in a suspension of up to five days without pay, while subsequent violations could lead to a referral to the Professional Licensure Standards Board, which has the authority to suspend or revoke teaching licenses. The bill defines "non-age-appropriate sexual content" as materials that include explicit instruction or advocacy of sexual ideologies that are not suitable for K-5 students.
