AI Summary
This bill modifies existing laws concerning obscenity and child sexual abuse material by updating definitions and penalties. It introduces a new category of "unlawful pornography" which includes various sexually explicit acts involving a person, and clarifies that visual depictions of computer-generated or altered images appearing to be children engaged in sexually explicit conduct are also covered. The bill allows for civil lawsuits against those who produce or distribute unlawful pornography lacking serious artistic, educational, or scientific value, with potential awards including damages, attorney fees, and injunctive relief. It also increases penalties for possessing child sexual abuse material, making it a Class B1 felony with enhanced punishments for repeat offenders and introducing stricter penalties for trafficking such material. Furthermore, the bill makes it a misdemeanor to distribute obscene materials or unlawful pornography, and a Class B2 felony for distributing child sexual abuse material, with mandatory sex offender registration for those convicted of child sexual abuse material offenses. Finally, it requires internet service providers to implement filtering technology to block access to child sexual abuse material, obscene materials, and unlawful pornography.
