requiring local school boards and public libraries to adopt curation policies.
SB 208 requires local school boards and public libraries to adopt written policies for selecting and organizing materials (like books and digital resources). These policies must address how materials are chosen, reviewed, and made available to the public. The bill directly affects school districts and public library systems across the state, mandating a formal process for material curation. As of March 2025, the bill was referred to committee but ultimately deemed "Inexpedient to Legislate" by the committee, meaning it did not advance further.
