Repeals obscenity exemptions for public libraries and educational institutions in Iowa.

This bill repeals Code section 728.7, which previously exempted public libraries and educational institutions from obscenity prohibitions. The repealed section allowed for the use of materials deemed obscene by contemporary community standards, provided they lacked serious literary, scientific, political, or artistic value. The repeal means these institutions will now be subject to the same obscenity restrictions as other entities.
