Provide requirements for public library resources containing material of a sexual or graphic sexual nature
This bill requires Montana public libraries to place books and digital resources containing sexual or graphic sexual material only in the young adult or adult sections, regardless of the material's intended reading age. It also allows community members to request that such materials be moved to these restricted sections and mandates that libraries implement age-based content protections for digital resources, permitting children to access age-appropriate digital content only with parental or guardian consent. The legislation amends existing state library laws to enforce these placement standards and gives library boards the duty to maintain collections that match the age appropriateness of each library section.
