It contains vague and subjective language to determine what is \"harmful to minors,\" expands criminal liability to K-12 educators, and allows school districts to be subject to civil lawsuits. This legislation is not needed and will intimidate educators from retaining certain items in their library collections. NH law already prevents the dissemination of harmful materials to minors. Moreover, schools have policies in place to explain how materials are chosen for their libraries, as well as procedures to address parental complaints regarding books and media. Certified school professionals review materials to ensure that students have wide access to a diverse collection of topics, typically sorted by reading level. Parents may have different opinions about what is offensive or age-appropriate. They have the right to review any collection item and opt out their child from anything they find objectionable. But while parents can decide what materials their child can access, they do not have the right to determine which materials are available for other students. That is censorship. Every community is different. School library collections in Berlin may look different from those in Dover. Our local school boards are elected by the residents of their school districts and are responsible for developing policies to address the needs of their individual communities.

This bill authorizes the Attorney General to enforce the legislation through a civil action against a school or school district. If successful as the petitioner in a civil enforcement action, the Attorney General shall be awarded damages of no less than $1,000 for each violation and costs and reasonable legal fees. The Department of Justice states bringing these enforcement actions would place increased demands on the Department and result in increased litigation costs. The Department cannot anticipate how many enforcement actions may be brought under the legislation or the resources needed to bring such actions. Accordingly, the Department indicates that the fiscal impact cannot be determined.\nThe Department of Education states it cannot estimate this bill\u2019s impact on local school districts, if any. Any impact could vary from district to district.\nAGENCIES CONTACTED:\nDepartment of Justice and Department of Education\n[ As this bill is identical to HB 1419, 2024 Session, we used the same information the agencies provided at that time to prepare the above fiscal note]", "in_text": [], "chars": 11822}, "nver": 3, "namd": 4, "rsa": {"RSA 650:4": "/laws/650#s4", "RSA 189": "/laws/189", "RSA 189:39": "/laws/189#s39", "RSA 21-N:11": "/laws/21-n#s11", "RSA 189:79": "/laws/189", "RSA 189:80": "/laws/189"}, "amends": {"RSA 650:4": "/laws/650#s4", "RSA 189": "/laws/189"}, "related": [{"g": 0, "o": "2023-2024/HB1419", "n": "HB 1419-FN", "t": "relative to prohibiting obscene or harmful sexual materials in schools.", "y": 2024, "c": "Died", "s": "Amendment 2024-0391h to {b} carries language this bill has; the House rejected it, 185-188."}, {"g": 1, "o": "2023-2024/HB1419", "n": "HB 1419-FN", "t": "relative to prohibiting obscene or harmful sexual materials in schools.", "y": 2024, "c": "Died", "s": "Filed before as {b}, with the same text."}]}
