What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill prohibits a person from causing a person who is under the age of 18

to attend an event at which a group of adult participants intentionally expose their

genitals, buttocks, or other intimate parts in a public area. The bill also prohibits

taking a picture or other representation of a child at such an event if the

representation depicts the child's intentionally exposed genitals, buttocks, or other

intimate parts. The bill provides an exception to the second prohibition for a person

who takes the picture or other representation with the intention to report to law

enforcement a violation that is created under the bill as long as the person reports

the violation within 24 hours of taking the picture or representation.

Because this bill creates a new crime or revises a penalty for an existing crime,

the Joint Review Committee on Criminal Penalties may be requested to prepare a

report.
