Bill > SB1123

This bill modifies Missouri state law regarding the provision of explicit sexual material to students by creating new legal consequences and definitions. The bill establishes that any library or school district that employs an individual found guilty of providing explicit sexual material to a student will lose state funding. It defines "explicit sexual material" as visual depictions showing human masturbation, sexual intercourse, direct physical stimulation of genitals, and other sexually graphic content, with exceptions for works of art, anthropological materials, and scientific educational resources. The bill expands the definition of persons "affiliated with a public or private elementary or secondary school" to include library board members, and makes providing such material to students a Class A misdemeanor. A person affiliated with a school in an official capacity who knowingly provides, assigns, supplies, distributes, loans, approves, or coerces acceptance of explicit sexual material to a student can be charged under this law. The bill aims to restrict access to sexually explicit materials in educational settings and create legal penalties for those who provide such materials to students.
