"The law, which went into effect July 1, requires that a book be removed from all public schools in the state if at least three school districts (or at least two school districts and five charter schools) determine it amounts to “objective sensitive material”"
It seems like there may be more similar laws, per sibling comment.
>Aren't there other books that are banned for legitimate reasons like hate speech and racial hate that aren't included here?
I don't know, and I'm not sure how it is related to my comment. I did not create the list in the article and I don't maintain any other list of banned books.
Florida bill 1069 allows parents to challenge the inclusion of books in the library, but only explicitly identifies books related to sexual preferences/conduct/etc.

Would you want your kids reading Mein Kampf or The Passing of the Great Race? I wouldn't.

The bill is all about pronouns, heterosexuality, abstinence, and getting books out of libraries on those grounds.

A ban would be you'd get in trouble for having the book in your possession, which isn't the case here.
