CT HB07014

Local and regional boards of education must establish policies by January 1, 2026 for evaluating library materials subject to complaints or proposed removal/restriction

Only students, parents, or guardians of enrolled students may file "qualified complaints" to remove or restrict access to materials in their school's library

A library material review committee must include the school principal, director of curriculum, a certified school librarian, the superintendent or designee, and one or more teachers

Library materials cannot be removed or restricted based on partisan content, an author's race/nationality/gender identity/sexual orientation/political or religious views, or the personal discomfort or views of board members

Sexual health content addressing puberty, sex, and relationships may only be removed or restricted if not age-appropriate; final decisions on removal or restriction must be posted on the board's website
