SF 797 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

School libraries certain material prohibition provision

SF 797 prohibits public school libraries from containing pornographic material and bans sexually explicit content in libraries of public elementary schools. The bill amends Minnesota Statutes by adding a new section requiring school libraries to remove such materials. It directly affects all public school libraries statewide, with stricter rules applying specifically to elementary school libraries. The law focuses on defined material categories rather than broader book restrictions.
