NV AB416

School districts, charter schools, and public libraries are prohibited from limiting access to library materials by removing them from circulation, relocating them to conceal their presence, labeling them as objectionable, or defacing them.

Library materials may only be removed from circulation if a court determines the material meets the legal definition of "obscene" based on a three-part test involving prurient interest, lack of serious value, and patently offensive sexual content.

Restrictions on library materials cannot be based on the content or on characteristics of the subject, author, or intended audience including race, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, or political affiliation.

Using force, intimidation, or coercion to prevent library access or to compel violations of these provisions is a category E felony, as is disseminating personal information of library personnel or patrons in retaliation for allowing library access.

School and library employees are protected from dismissal, discipline, or retaliation for selecting, displaying, or circulating library materials in accordance with these provisions.
