Qué contiene
Resumen con IA Currently, laws against obscene material do not apply to books or art used in public libraries, schools, or educational programs for minors. This bill would remove those special protections. If passed, the rules against obscene material would apply to these locations and programs. (Todavía no está traducido al español.)1

7, which relates to obscenity exemptions for public libraries and educational institutions.7 currently provides that nothing in Code chapter 728 (obscenity) prohibits the use of appropriate material for educational purposes in any accredited school, any public library, or in any educational program in which a minor is participating.7 further provides that Code chapter 728 does not prohibit the attendance of minors at an exhibition or display of art works or the use of any materials in any public library. 1 defines “obscene material”, which includes material the average person, taking the material as a whole and applying contemporary community standards with respect to what is suitable material for minors, would find appeals to the prurient interest and is patently offensive; and the material, taken as a whole, lacks serious literary, scientific, political, or artistic value.
Por qué importa. Public libraries, accredited schools, and educational programs would no longer have specific legal exemptions regarding the use of materials defined as obscene. This change would remove the current protections that allow these institutions to use or display such materials for educational or artistic purposes. (Todavía no está traducido al español.)2
