HD 1589: An Act to protect library patron privacy

HD 1589, titled "An Act to protect library patron privacy," prevents public access to library records revealing a patron's identity and reading or research habits. It classifies these records as non-public, meaning they cannot be accessed by the public or most government entities without legal authorization. Law enforcement may only view such records with a court-issued warrant under standard legal procedures or during immediate emergencies. This bill directly protects library users by ensuring their reading choices and research activities remain confidential.
