schools; libraries; explicit materials; classification

SB 1090 prohibits public schools and libraries in Arizona from using or directing minors to sexually explicit materials. Schools must obtain written parental consent for each material with serious educational value and provide alternative assignments for students without consent. Libraries are similarly barred from facilitating minors' access to such materials. Violations by staff acting with criminal negligence are classified as class 5 felonies. The bill directly affects public school and library staff, students, and minors accessing these resources.
