Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine signed legislation Thursday that requires public libraries to install Internet filters on public computers if they want to continue to receive state funding.
The bill, which received overwhelming support from both houses of the Legislature, will help protect minors from being exposed to inappropriate material at their local libraries.
Victoria Cobb, president of The Family Foundation, said the legislation was a top priority for her group.
"We were very pleased to see this common-sense legislation has finally become law," she said. "In a world where nearly every day we hear another story about a child being exploited by a sexual predator over the Internet, we need to do everything we can to protect kids."
