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, it requires each local school board to adopt a policy by November 1, 2026, that outlines the types of materials permitted in schools, as well as a procedure for addressing complaints from parents or guardians about materials deemed harmful or age-inappropriate. The bill defines "material" broadly to include various forms of content such as books, videos, and performances, and stipulates that the complaint resolution process must include specific steps for investigation and communication with complainants.

Key provisions of the bill include the requirement for school principals to investigate complaints within a set timeframe, provide written responses to complainants, and allow for appeals to the school board. The school board is also tasked with making challenged materials accessible to the public and issuing a written decision regarding the appeal. 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.
