This bill establishes new policies and protection measures that library providers and third parties contracting with them must implement when offering digital library services, particularly to minors. It defines key terms such as "digital library service," "library provider," and various forms of prohibited content, including child pornography and hard-core pornography. The bill mandates that library providers must block access to such materials for minors and outlines the responsibilities of third parties in ensuring compliance with these requirements. If a library provider contracts with a third party, the contract must include specific clauses that address noncompliance, including penalties and the process for rectifying violations.

Additionally, the bill requires library providers to report any third-party noncompliance to the attorney general within 30 days, and it designates the attorney general to investigate and enforce compliance with the bill's provisions. Importantly, the bill specifies that it does not apply to service providers unless they are directly providing digital library services, nor does it apply to digital library services used by students in higher education institutions governed by the state board of regents or community colleges.
