The proposed bill, known as the Right To Challenge Act, mandates that local school districts develop and publicly post policies regarding materials authorized for student use. Specifically, by November 1, 2026, each local school board must adopt a policy detailing the materials that can be used, circulated, or accessed by students, and this policy must be made available on the district's website. Additionally, the bill requires the establishment of a procedure to address complaints from parents or guardians about materials deemed harmful, age-inappropriate, or otherwise offensive. This procedure must also be posted online and includes specific steps for submitting complaints, investigating allegations, and providing written responses to complainants.

The bill outlines a comprehensive complaint resolution process, which includes timelines for investigation and decision-making by school principals and school boards. Key provisions include the requirement for principals to investigate complaints within 10 school days, provide a determination within 15 school days, and allow for appeals to the school board. The school board must then issue a written decision within 15 calendar days of the appeal hearing. All decisions and related communications are classified as public records. The bill does not specify any fiscal impact on local revenues but notes that compliance costs may vary by district and are indeterminable.
