Prohibiting Blocking LGBTQ+ Content in Schools and Public Libraries

This act aims to ensure that schools and public libraries receiving internet support do not block access to LGBTQ+ related resources. This means students and library users will have free access to information on these topics, potentially impacting their education and access to diverse content.
Key points
Elementary schools, secondary schools, and public libraries cannot block internet access to LGBTQ+ resources if they wish to receive discounted internet services.
The act defines LGBTQ+ resources as information related to homosexuality, bisexuality, transgender identity, sexual orientation, and related topics, excluding certain visual depictions.
The goal is to ensure equal access to information for all internet users in educational institutions and libraries.
