Relating to the prohibition of access by minors to sexually explicit materials in municipal public library collections; providing a civil penalty.

This bill prohibits Texas municipal public libraries from maintaining sexually explicit materials (depicting sexual conduct) in sections accessible to minors under 18. Libraries must implement age verification for such materials and conduct annual reviews to remove prohibited content from children’s or teens’ sections within 45 days of discovery. Violations could result in loss of state funding or a $10,000 civil penalty per violation. The Texas State Library Commission will enforce these requirements, with initial library reviews due by 2027.
