AB445

Revises provisions relating to libraries. (BDR 34-1071)

Vetoed·6/2/25

Nevada AB445 revises library access policies, requiring model policies for library materials selection and prohibiting censorship.

Nevada AB445 mandates the Department of Education and the State Library, Archives and Public Records Administrator to create model policies for library materials selection. These policies must ensure diverse and inclusive materials, prohibit censorship, and establish criteria for material removal. The bill requires school districts, charter schools, and public libraries to adopt these policies or develop their own that are equally protective. It also outlines processes for reviewing and responding to removal requests, ensuring materials remain accessible until a decision is made.
