Home Printer-friendly version E-mail a Colleague Utah Passes State CIPA Bill BreakingNews > News Utah has become the first state to pass a state filtering bill modeled on the federal Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA). While HB 341 initially said that no state funds "shall" be provided to a library that does not filter, it was amended to say that state funds "may" not be provided to such a library. However, the State Library Division was unable to say if that meant libraries might be exempt. The bill, which originally was aimed at all computers, was amended, at the request of librarians, to encompass "publicly accessible computers," thus exempting staff computers. Mark Rose, chair of the Utah Library Association's Legislative Committee, noted that, in one county, staff computers are managed by one network and public access computers by another. | |
