Summary

AI-generated summary — verify against full text

The Fight Book Bans Act authorizes the Secretary of Education to provide federal grants to local school districts to reimburse legal costs incurred when defending decisions to keep instructional or library materials in schools against challenges by parents or community members. Grants would cover expenses such as attorneys' fees and court costs, up to $100,000 per case, and would only apply when the school district decides not to remove the material. The bill appropriates $15 million over fiscal years 2025–2029 and requires the grant award process to be content-neutral and viewpoint-neutral.
