Education - As introduced, enacts the "Freedom to Read Act"; repeals the "Age-Appropriate Materials Act of 2022." - Amends TCA Title 49, Chapter 1 and Title 49, Chapter 6.

SB 1130, the "Freedom to Read Act," replaces Tennessee's 2022 "Age-Appropriate Materials Act" and directly affects public school libraries, classroom libraries, and school boards across the state. It requires schools to keep all materials available during a review process if challenged, prohibits removal based on the creator's background or ideological disapproval, and mandates a uniform procedure for handling complaints from students, parents, or staff. School boards must adopt policies for reviewing materials based solely on age-appropriateness, not content views, and materials remain accessible until a review concludes. The bill takes effect July 1, 2025, focusing on maintaining access to library materials while establishing clear review standards.
