Bill Summary
An Act amending title 38, chapter 3, article 4, Arizona Revised Statutes, by adding section 38-452; relating to sexually explicit materials.
AI Summary
This bill adds a new section to Arizona law that prohibits state agencies, cities, towns, counties, and other political subdivisions from exposing minors to sexually explicit materials and requires these entities to prevent their contractors from doing the same. The bill also bars facilities or properties owned, leased, or managed by these entities from being used for filming or facilitating sexually explicit acts. Any violation of this section would be considered a class 5 felony. The bill provides detailed definitions for key terms, including "sexual conduct" (which encompasses acts like masturbation, sexual intercourse, and physical contact with certain body parts), "sexual excitement" (the state of sexual arousal), and "sexually explicit materials" (which includes textual, visual, or audio content depicting sexual conduct, sexual excitement, or "ultimate sexual acts"). The term "ultimate sexual acts" is specifically defined to include various sexual activities such as sexual intercourse, fellatio, cunnilingus, bestiality, and sodomy. The legislation appears aimed at protecting minors from exposure to sexually explicit content in government-related spaces and contexts.
