WELL PLEASE CONTACT THE MEMBERS OF THESE TWO COMMITTEES AND INSIST THAT THEY SUPPORT OUR BILL.

PROTECTING STUDENTS FROM DIGITAL OBSCENITY AND PORNOGRAPHY IN SCHOOLS:
SB 2292 by *Bell - HB 2454  by *Weaver
Obscenity and Pornography - As introduced, redefines "obscene" to include material that has educational value; makes various changes to the internet acceptable use policy LEAs are required to adopt; requires providers of digital and online resources to ensure that users cannot access certain obscene material; requires a local board of education to establish a mechanism for parents, legal guardians, or students to report failures of the technology selected by the LEA to filter, block, or otherwise prevent access to pornography or obscenity through online resources and to submit an annual report to the state board of education regarding same.

This is a very comprehensive and detailed bill.  You will want to SEE OUR TALKING POINTS HERE. and then contact you members of the respective committees.

The most important thing to remember here is that, while TEL does have filters, you can get to databases like GALE that bypass the filters.  Our bill will stop that.

STATUS:  SB2292 is scheduled in Senate Judiciary on Tuesday afternoon.
ACTION:  Please contact the members of the Judiciary Committee and urge them to support the legislation that will protect our students from digital obscenity and pornography
