Oklahoma lawmaker files bill requiring schools provide list of all library material

OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) — An Oklahoma lawmaker filed a bill on Tuesday that would require public school districts and charter schools to submit a list of available library materials each year to the Oklahoma State Department of Education.

Sen. Warren Hamilton (R-McCurtain) filed Senate Bill 19 on Tuesday. If passed, the bill would require the list of library materials to be submitted to OSDE each year by October 1 and prohibit schools from having inappropriate material accessible to students.
