Protect Minors from Sexual or Pornographic Content

The bill prohibits an individual, organization, or entity from:

• Permitting a minor to attend events, performances, or activities explicitly involving sexual content or pornographic materials; or
• Exposing a minor to pornographic materials in any form, including digital, print, or broadcast mediums.

The prohibition does not apply to:

• Educational materials or school programs explicitly designed for age-appropriate sex education in accordance with local and federal regulations; or
• Parental or guardian discussions about sexual health and development appropriate to the child's maturity level.

A violation is an unclassified misdemeanor, and for the first violation the penalty is a fine of up to $10,000. A second or subsequent violation is subject to a sentence of up to 2 years in jail. A violator is also subject to revocation of a business license if the violator is an establishment that knowingly permits such exposure.
