Education - As introduced, enacts the "Freedom to Read Act"; repeals the "Age-Appropriate Materials Act of 2022." - Amends TCA Title 49, Chapter 1 and Title 49, Chapter 6.

HB 1051 replaces Tennessee's "Age-Appropriate Materials Act of 2022" with the "Freedom to Read Act," affecting school libraries and classroom libraries in public schools and charter schools. The bill requires that materials (including books, digital content, and more) must be suitable for students' age and maturity and cannot be removed due to the creator's background, ideology, or religious views. Schools must adopt a policy for reviewing removal requests from students, parents, or staff, and materials must stay available during the review process. The law takes effect on July 1, 2025.
