FARGO — Librarians across North Dakota are raising concerns about Senate Bill 2307, which they say is unnecessary and could negatively impact public libraries. The proposed bill would update current obscenity laws to include public libraries and schools. It mandates that materials deemed “sexually explicit” must be made inaccessible to minors.

Some legislators had concerns that the bill was just a concept and had no definitive fiscal note. Sen. Tim Mathern said the bill is needed to plan for the future.

House Bill 1144 would establish penalties with fines punishable up to $2,500 for schools out of compliance with state law governing bathroom use for transgender students.
