AN ACT ESTABLISHING A SCHOOL LIBRARIES TASK FORCE.

HB 5858 establishes a state task force to develop guidelines for determining appropriate literary materials in school libraries. The bill directs the task force to create specific standards for selecting books and resources, directly affecting school districts and library staff who manage these collections. This procedural bill does not change current library policies but creates a formal process to develop new guidelines. The task force will include representatives from education and library fields, as specified in the bill's referral to the Education Committee.
