SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Technology protection measures; public libraries.  Requires the library board or governing body of a local library to include in its acceptable use policy for the Internet provisions for the selection, installation and activation of a technology protection measure on computers that have Internet access and that are accessible to the public to filter or block Internet access through such computers to child pornography as set out in § 18.2-374.1:1, obscenity as defined in § 18.2-372, and, with respect to minors, materials deemed harmful to juveniles as defined in § 18.2-390. The bill also requires the policy to include a provision for disabling or bypassing the technology protection measure at the request of a patron in instances of bona fide research or other lawful purposes. In addition, the bill provides that no state funding shall be withheld and no other adverse action taken against a library by the Librarian of Virginia or any other official of state government when the technology protection measure fails, provided that such library promptly has taken reasonable steps to rectify and prevent such failures in the future.
