SB 483 - This act provides that any library district or school district that employs a person who has been found guilty of the offense of providing explicit sexual material to a student shall no longer be eligible to receive any state funds. Additionally, this act modifies the offense of providing explicit sexual material to a student to include situations where a person approves of the provision of such material. The act also adds library board members to the definition of persons who are "affiliated with a public or private elementary or secondary school in an official capacity".
This act is identical to SB 1272 (2024).
