Crime of distribution of obscene materials; delete exemption for public and private school libraries.

SB 2812 would remove a legal exemption that previously protected public and private school libraries in Mississippi from being prosecuted for distributing obscene materials under state law. If passed, school libraries would no longer have this specific shield and would be subject to the same obscenity laws as other organizations. The bill directly affects school libraries by eliminating their current legal protection, requiring them to comply with the broader obscenity statute. This bill died in committee on February 3, 2026, and did not become law.
