Education - As enacted, prohibits a local board of education or public charter school governing body from removing a material from a library collection for the sole reason that the material is religious. - Amends TCA Title 49.

HB 1085 prohibits Tennessee local school boards and public charter school governing bodies from removing materials from school libraries *solely* because the materials are religious. The law amends Tennessee Code Annotated Title 49, specifically adding a new provision that bans this type of removal. It directly affects school library collections by preventing decisions based on religious content alone, though schools may still remove materials for other valid reasons (e.g., age appropriateness). The bill became law on April 29, 2025, as Public Chapter 270.
