House Bill 1085 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically Section 49-6-3803, by adding a new subsection that prohibits local boards of education and public charter school governing bodies from removing materials from library collections solely based on their religious content. This change aims to protect the availability of religious materials in school libraries, ensuring that such resources cannot be excluded for that reason alone.

The bill is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of maintaining diverse library collections that include religious materials. This legislative action reflects a commitment to uphold the principles of free access to information in educational settings.
