Take Action

Tell State Senators to Vote NO on HB 1239!

HB 1239 exposes librarians to a class one misdemeanor charge. That’s punishable by up to a year in jail and a $2,000 fine. It poses a significant threat to our librarians and school employees by criminalizing their professional duties. The language in HB 1239 is alarmingly subjective and could lead to jailing dedicated librarians and other education professionals.
