[CASL-L] CT State Legislation

[LaMontagne, Todd (Ellis)]

Recently, the state of Illinois passed legislation that financially penalizes local and school libraries that cave to white nationalist/MAGA attempts to challenge and ultimately ban books.  I think CASL and its members, along with other library organizations like CLC, should press our state legislature to draft similar legislation.  Unfortunately, the problem has infected our local communities as described in this article from the CT Insider.  Has anyone heard of any attempts to organize and push for this type of protection in the state?
