SB 523, a bill that has been introduced in the New Hampshire Legislature and is scheduled to be voted on by the state Senate on Thursday, April 4, would allow a principal or another individual to unilaterally ban a book without a review committee.

At no point, if a book is banned, would the public have the opportunity to appeal the decision.
