Senate Bill 1112, also known as House Bill 1085, amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 49, to establish protections for religious materials in school library collections. The bill introduces a new provision stating that local boards of education and public charter school governing bodies are prohibited from removing materials from library collections solely based on their religious content.

This legislation aims to ensure that religious materials are treated equally and not subject to removal simply due to their religious nature, thereby promoting a more inclusive educational environment. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of safeguarding access to diverse materials in schools.
