Key Provisions of CT S.B. 1271

 No book removed just for being offensive. The law makes clear that a book cannot be pulled solely because someone disagrees with it. Challenges must cite educational or professional concerns.

 Local voices matter. Only town residents, parents, students, or school staff can file formal challenges—and they must do so in writing.

 Protects library staff. Librarians following board-approved policy cannot be sued or harassed simply for doing their jobs.

 Materials stay available during review. Books remain on shelves until the challenge process is complete.

 Policies must be public and inclusive. Every library must publish its collection policy, ensuring collections serve diverse populations and do not discriminate.
