South Dakota public schools and libraries must now publish their policies for restricting minors' access to obscene online materials on their website or in a legal newspaper, updating an outdated 2001 deadline to January 1, 2025. The bill clarifies that schools and libraries can meet this requirement either by using filtering software or internet services, or by developing and publicly sharing a local policy—they no longer need to do both.
