Illinois State Senator Matt Murphy (R-27, Palatine) filed Senate Bill (SB) 1682, only minutes before the bill introduction deadline in the Illinois State Senate.

Senate Bill 1682
Creates the Social Networking Web site Prohibition Act. Provides that each public library must prohibit access to social networking Web sites on all computers made available to the public in the library. Provides that each public school must prohibit access to social networking Web sites on all computers made available to students in the school. Provides for enforcement by the Attorney General or a citizen. Amends the State Mandates Act to require implementation without reimbursement.

Like social networks are the cause of all evil? How about supervising the kids and discouraging bad behavior instead of banning generally benign things.
