Legislation

This bill would prohibit any state agency, school district, library, or other institution supported by public funds from hosting a drag story hour or any other drag show attended by people under age 18.

This bill would require social media, streaming, gaming, or chatroom companies to provide a parental control option to opt minors out of content that is “sexual in nature” and content that features transgender people. A company that violates this would be guilty of a misdemeanor.

This bill would define “riot” to include a violent protest and would allow a person whose property is destroyed or harmed to recover full damages against every person or “funding entity” engaged in a riot.

This bill would allow parents to exempt their children from any classroom instruction in a public school if it conflicts with their “beliefs or practices regarding sex, morality, or religion.” It would also forbid classroom discussions of "gender roles or stereotypes, gender identity, gender expression, or sexual orientation” unless a teacher gives parents five days' advance notice and receives affirmative consent from the parents.

This bill prohibits any government agency or school from awarding grants or contracts that classify, prioritize, or set a quota based on race. Any policy or contract that violates this would be void and unenforceable.

This bill states that a library board would not be allowed to require a chief librarian, library director, or library employee to be certified by the American Library Association or have a master’s degree from a program certified by the ALA.
