Enacts the "freedom to read act"

School districts must now make their library reconsideration policies available on their websites.

Reconsideration committees must include a student currently enrolled in the district as a voting member.

Regulations developed by the state commissioner are now limited to carrying out the section's provisions and cannot prescribe specific outcomes for individual reconsideration decisions.

The law explicitly states that removal or restriction cannot be based solely on disagreement with the ideas, viewpoints, or identities represented in the material.

School employees are protected from disciplinary action if they select or retain library materials in reasonable reliance on adopted district policies.

Reorganized the committee membership list to remove 'student' representation and added 'guardian' to the list of eligible committee members.

Explicitly added 'suppressed' and 'prohibited' to the list of actions forbidden when motivated by disagreement with a book's themes or viewpoints.

Expanded the duties of school library systems to include mandatory assistance, policy tailoring, and professional development for school staff.

Updated the commissioner's regulatory authority to ensure new rules do not narrow the protections established by this act.

Introduced a specific legal definition for when materials can be removed, limiting it to cases where the material meets the federal standard for obscenity.
