As approved by the House Federal and State Affairs Committee, the bill would require any library computer available to minors to be equipped as of July 1 with an Internet device to filter out obscene material.

Rep. Becky Hutchins, a Holton Republican, shepherded the legislation through the House debate.

“We constantly hear the phrase that times have changed, and I would agree with that, but the one thing that has not changed — our responsibility to keep minors safe and the role of government to aid us in that process,� she told the House.

The bill is HB 2420. Bills are available on the Internet at www.kslegislature/cgi-bin/index.cgi.”
