Hearing on library bill is delayed

Hearing on library bill is delayed: "OKLAHOMA CITY A hearing was delayed this morning on a bill that would effectively require libraries move children's and young adult books with homosexual or sexually explicit themes to adult areas or special areas.

The bill by Representative Sallyi Kern would prohibit state funding to libraries that fail to move the books to special areas. The libraries would also have to adopt policies to limit distribution of the books or similar materials to adults only.

The bill remains in a subcommittee of the House Education Committee.

No reason was given for the delay."
