  • North Dakota Sen. Keith Boehm faced pushback from lawmakers on Thursday when he told the House Appropriations Committee about Senate Bill 2307— a law that would require school and public libraries to put books marked as sexually explicit in harder to reach places and could cost the state $2 million through 2029.
