AZ Law Passed to Protect Children in Schools and Libraries

The Arizona legislature recently passed a law that updates and requires among other things:
1. Libraries and schools to have filters on their internet.
2. Requires a community input meeting on how to update filters and other
safety techniques every three years.
3. If libraries and schools are not compliant with any provisions in this law,
they may lose funding, if the concerns are not brought into compliance.

A special thank you to Representative Steve Court for working with us on this law.

It is fantastic that the bill was made law, but the most important part comes now. Parents have often come to us with stories of their children encountering illegal obscene material while at schools or libraries. Then they often shrug their shoulders and go on.

Now that there is a law passed, parents have recourse. But they must report it to the school or library. Then the institution can be aware and try to comply and make their system better. They must comply. It is the law.

There is help for parents, if the parents will participate. With this law in place, we can work together to make Arizona's libraries and schools safe places for our children.
