Bill > SB1323

This bill amends the Arizona Revised Statutes to prohibit public schools from referring students to or using any sexually explicit materials, with limited exceptions. The bill defines "sexually explicit materials" as including textual, visual, or audio materials that depict sexual conduct, sexual excitement, or ultimate sexual acts. The bill also imposes a class 5 felony on any public school employee or independent contractor who violates this provision. The purpose of the bill is to restrict the use of sexually explicit materials in public school settings, with certain exemptions if the materials have serious educational, literary, artistic, political, or scientific value and parental consent is obtained.
