NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee’s Republican-controlled Statehouse is once again looking to tweak how books can be removed from school library shelves.

The legislation is the latest development in the ongoing battle many conservative leaders have launched against school libraries across the U.S. The Senate approved the legislation on a 22-4 vote. The proposal had previously passed the House chamber last year. The bill must clear the House once more before it can head to Gov. Bill Lee’s desk due to a small clerical error between the two versions.
