AN ACT PROHIBITING THE AVAILABILITY OF SEXUALLY EXPLICIT MATERIAL IN PUBLIC SCHOOL LIBRARIES.

HB 5898 requires public school libraries to prevent minors from accessing materials depicting specific sexually explicit content, including pornography, nude performances, or depictions of certain body parts (genitals, pubic area, buttocks, or female breasts) or acts like sado-masochistic abuse. The bill directly affects public school libraries and students by mandating that libraries block access to these defined materials. Key provisions list six specific categories of prohibited content that libraries must restrict. The bill's stated purpose is to prevent student access to such material in school library settings. This is a substantive policy change affecting library access rules in public schools.
