AI Summary
This bill eliminates an exception to the prohibition on the dissemination of obscene matter to minors for educational purposes in public schools. The existing law prohibits the knowing distribution or exhibition of obscene material to minors, but provides an exception for non-commercial distribution or exhibition for educational purposes by certain institutions, including public schools. This bill removes the public school exception, meaning the prohibition on the dissemination of obscene material to minors would now apply even in public school educational settings.
