SB 17

House Education Committee Chair Bob Behning (R-Indianapolis) is weighing whether to add language to other existing bills or try again next year.

Legislation that would weaken a library’s defense if prosecuted for providing harmful materials to minors is in legislative limbo.

Senate Bill 17 essentially says if schools or public libraries share harmful or obscene material with minors, they can't legally defend themselves by saying it's for educational purposes.
