HB 4448 requires public schools to submit library materials for automated AI review before purchase. The AI system, approved by the Texas Education Agency, must assess whether materials contain sexually explicit or sexually relevant content. Schools are prohibited from purchasing materials flagged as sexually explicit and must obtain parental consent for materials deemed sexually relevant. The bill imposes penalties on schools and vendors for non-compliance.
