Bill prefiling for the 2025 legislative session has started.

A sad commentary on our times:

FIRST REGULAR SESSION
HOUSE BILL NO. 95 [pdf]
103RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY
INTRODUCED BY REPRESENTATIVE EALY.

0516H.01I
DANA RADEMAN MILLER, Chief Clerk

AN ACT

To amend chapter 1, RSMo, by adding thereto one new section relating to library collections.

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:

Section A. Chapter 1, RSMo, is amended by adding thereto one new section, to be known as section 1.521, to read as follows:

1.521. 1. No library that receives any moneys from the federal government or the state or any political subdivision thereof shall ban or restrict access to any book or other resource in the library’s collection because of partisan or doctrinal disapproval.

2. This section shall not be construed to require a library that receives any moneys from the federal government or the state or any political subdivision thereof to purchase or otherwise acquire a book or resource for inclusion in the library’s collection.

That is until the Fascists start burning them.
