Layon ng batas na ito na maging compulsory ang pagbabasa at maging bahagi ng aralin sa mga paaaralan ang mga nobela ng pambansang bayaning si Dr. Jose Rizal na Noli Me Tangere at El Filibusterismo, Mahigpit na tinutulan ito ng Simbahang Katoliko na umabot pa sa puntong sinabi nilang kasinungalingan at mapanirang-puri raw ang mga inilalahad ng nobela na naganap noong panahon ni Rizal. Ayon naman kay Recto at Laurel, marapat lamang na maging bahagi ito ng aralin ng mga mag-aaral na Filipino upang maikintal sa kanilang isipan ang pagkamakabayan.
