2011 House Bill 4890

Mandate filters on all public library computers

Introduced in the House

Aug. 24, 2011

Introduced by Rep. Thomas Hooker (R-77)

To eliminate an option in current law that lets public libraries choose to allow unfiltered internet access on computers used only by adults, if they also have filtered computers for minors. Instead, all library computers would be required to have “software that blocks or restricts receipt of visual depictions that are obscene, child pornography, or harmful to minors”.

Referred to the Committee on Local, Intergovernmental, and Regional Affairs
