Efforts to prohibit public libraries from displaying sexual content have passed the Senate and House floors in North Dakota. Supporters say the bills would reduce children’s exposure to pornography, while opponents say it would limit children’s access to scientific and educational content on the human body. The Senate bill would criminally charge people for displaying content on sexual activity in libraries and schools. The House bill would not charge people, but would require libraries to develop a policy for keeping sexual materials out. Both bills must still pass through the opposite chamber and get signed by the governor to become law.
