This bill amends section 1006.28 of the Florida Statutes to define the term "harmful to minors" and revise the objection process for instructional materials used in classrooms. The new definition includes any material that depicts nudity, sexual conduct, or sexual excitement, which predominantly appeals to prurient interests and is offensive to community standards regarding what is suitable for minors. The bill also mandates that school district boards adopt policies to handle objections from parents or residents regarding specific materials, ensuring that the objection process is accessible and transparent.

Additionally, the bill reenacts a reference in section 1014.05 concerning school district notifications on parental rights, incorporating the amendments made to section 1006.28. It emphasizes that parents have the right to contest instructional materials based on their beliefs about morality, sex, and religion, or if they believe the materials are harmful. The bill stipulates that any material deemed harmful must be removed from access within five school days of an objection, and it prohibits the consideration of potential literary or educational value if the material is found to be harmful to minors. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
