Maurice H. Harbin (born April 2, 1955) is an American politician who has served in the Georgia State Senate from the 16th district since 2015.[1][2]
In January 2024, Harbin co-sponsored S.B. 390, which would withhold government funding for any libraries in Georgia affiliated with the American Library Association. The bill was drafted following the election of ALA President Emily Drabinski and allegations of the organization promoting a personal ideology and influencing librarian certification.[3][4][5]
