Iowa SF2119 repeals the obscenity exemption for public libraries and educational institutions.

Iowa SF2119 repeals Code section 728.7, which previously allowed public libraries and educational institutions to use obscene material for educational purposes. The bill removes the exemption that permitted the use of such material in accredited schools, public libraries, and educational programs involving minors. The definition of obscene material remains unchanged, including material that appeals to the prurient interest and lacks serious value.
