The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 5898, aims to amend current statutes to prohibit public school libraries from making sexually explicit material accessible to minors. The bill specifically defines sexually explicit content as any material that depicts pornography, sexually explicit conduct, inappropriate touching of genitals or breasts, nude performances, individuals in a state of sexual excitement, or sado-masochistic abuse or masturbation.

The intent of this legislation is to safeguard students from exposure to such content in public school libraries, thereby promoting a more appropriate educational environment. The bill does not specify any deletions from current law but introduces new legal language to establish these restrictions clearly.
