Some of those bills are related to hot-button issues under increasing national scrutiny as the country approaches national elections in November, including Assembly Bill (AB) 1825. Titled the California Freedom to Read Act, AB 1825 would prevent library review committees from banning material that deals with race or sexuality. This proposed law requires state public libraries to outline their policies for approving or rejecting books. State public libraries will also have to establish a system that allows people to voice their concerns and objections regarding the books and policies.
