Book vendors selling to Texas public schools, ranging from national sellers like Amazon to local bookstores with eight employees, must now rate all the books they sell based on sexual content, according to new legislation signed into law on June 12.
If the book vendor fails to comply with state library standards that will be in place by January 1, 2024, they’d be barred from selling to Texas public schools.

Welp, nobody is going to want to sell books to schools in Texas, I’m sure it’ll be fine 🙃
Oh yes they will. There are already bad faith actors in the textbook industry. This opens the door for some christofacist to write and sell their own skewed “guaranteed clean” textbooks that teaches that asking for a pay raise is immoral.
