Relates to library cards for minors
This bill requires schools to add a checkbox on student registration forms, allowing parents to authorize library cards for their minor children during enrollment. The state education board must create a system to process these requests through the school forms. It directly affects parents, public libraries, and schools by integrating library access into the standard registration process. The law takes effect 120 days after enactment.
