A bill to define "obscenity" for purposes of the Communications Act of 1934, and for other purposes.

Bill 118 s 4571, also known as the "Obscenity Definition Act," aims to clarify the definition of "obscenity" within the Communications Act of 1934. The bill seeks to provide a clear and concise definition of what constitutes obscene material in order to regulate and enforce standards for content distributed through various forms of communication, such as television, radio, and the internet.

The bill outlines specific criteria that must be met in order for material to be considered obscene, including a focus on the prurient interest, patently offensive content, and lacking in any redeeming social value. By establishing a clear definition of obscenity, the bill aims to protect individuals, particularly children, from exposure to harmful and inappropriate content.

In addition to defining obscenity, the bill also includes provisions for enforcement and penalties for violations of the defined standards. This includes potential fines and other consequences for individuals or entities found to be distributing obscene material. Overall, the Obscenity Definition Act seeks to provide a framework for regulating and enforcing standards for content distributed through various forms of communication, with the goal of protecting individuals from exposure to harmful and inappropriate material.
