Gov. Brad Little signed House Bill 710 into law Wednesday morning.
Also called the "Children's School and Library Protection Act," the law prohibits those who work in schools and public libraries to make available to minors books, pictures and other materials depicting nudity, sexual conduct or sado-masochistic abuse.
“I share the cosponsors’ desire to keep truly inappropriate library materials out of the hands of minors," Little wrote in a letter to legislators. "That said, I still believe a greater harm confronts our children — content accessible to them on their phones and devices."
