The decision says that the government is...

    permanently enjoined from withholding federal funds from any
    public library for failure to comply with §§ 1712(a)(2) and
    1721(b) of the Children's Internet Protection Act, 20 U.S.C. §
    9134(f) and 47 U.S.C. § 254(h)(6).

20 U.S.C. 9134(f) is the portion that applies to schools.
