Restricting Explicit Materials in Arizona Schools and Libraries

This bill would make it illegal for staff at Arizona public schools and libraries to direct minors to any sexually explicit material or help them access it in any way. There are exceptions for materials with clear educational, literary, artistic, political, or scientific value, but schools can only use these if parents give written consent for each item, and students without consent must get alternative assignments. Staff who break these rules through criminal negligence could face felony charges.
