The proposed bill, titled the "District Library Freedom to Read Act," establishes standards and processes for selecting materials for inclusion in or withdrawal from a district library's collection. It defines key terms such as "district library," "material," and "request for reconsideration," and outlines the responsibilities of the library director or chief executive in managing these processes. The bill mandates that district libraries adopt or amend their policies within 90 days to include standards for material selection and withdrawal, as well as a clear process for handling requests for reconsideration of materials.

Additionally, the bill specifies that requests for reconsideration cannot be based on the personal characteristics of the author or the content's subject matter, unless the material has been legally deemed obscene or unprotected. It empowers the Attorney General and residents of the library's service areas to take legal action against libraries that fail to comply with the act, including seeking injunctions or mandamus to enforce policy adherence. The act will only take effect if House Bill No. 4250 is also enacted into law.
