HB 1638 -- Pornographic Material

Sponsor:  Bruns

This bill expands the crime of furnishing pornographic material
to a minor to include when the offender believes that the person
to whom the material is furnished is a minor; that any person
viewing a pornographic performance is a minor; or that any person
who participates in or makes available pornographic material via
computer, electronic transfer, Internet, or computer network is a
minor.

The penalty for the crime of furnishing pornographic material to
minors is increased from a class A misdemeanor to a class D
felony unless the person has previously pled guilty to or been
found guilty of a sexual or pornographic offense in which case
the penalty is increased from a class D felony to a class C
felony.
