Not later than the 30th day after the date a school district is notified that a library material found in a school library, classroom library, or online catalog does not adhere to the standards adopted under Subsection (c), the district shall remove the material. A superintendent of a school district that does not remove a library material as required by this subsection is liable to the state for a civil penalty in an amount not to exceed $10,000 for each violation. A person commits a separate violation for each library material that is not removed in violation of this subsection except multiple copies of the same library material do not constitute separate violations. The attorney general may investigate any alleged violation of this section and may bring an action to recover the civil penalty described by this subsection.
