FOWLER-REITZ-FORBY-MCCARTHY-MILLER AND FRANKS. (WOOLARD-BOWLES) 105 ILCS 5/10-28 new 105 ILCS 5/34-21.8 new Amends the Chicago and Downstate Articles of the School Code. Provides that each school board shall adopt and implement a policy to prevent students from gaining access to or being exposed to sexually explicit materials. Provides that each school board shall file a copy of its policy with the State Board of Education. Effective immediately. HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1. Defines "sexually explicit material". Provides that the policy applies to students while on school grounds. Replaces the provision that requires a school board to file a copy of the policy with the State Board of Education with a provision that requires a board to maintain a copy of the policy, requires the board to make available a copy of the policy for inspection, and provides that compliance is subject to an audit by the State Board of Education. FISCAL NOTE (State Board of Education) While it is difficult to estimate the cost of adopting and im- plementing such a policy, it is unlikely to cost a great deal per district. Many districts already have such policies. It is relatively easy and inexpensive to purchase software to "fil- ter" the Internet and most school libraries are aware of what materials they purchase and make available to students. FISCAL NOTE, H-AM 1 (State Board of Education) Same as previous note. STATE MANDATES NOTE (State Board of Education) Same as SBE fiscal note. STATE MANDATES NOTE, H-AM 1 (State Board of Education) Same as SBE fiscal note, with H-am 1. HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 2. Provides that the policy applies only to sexually explicit materials on the Internet.
