Introduced·2/10/25

Arizona HB2712 amends the definition of "minor" in the state's obscenity statutes to include depictions indistinguishable from actual minors.

Arizona HB2712 modifies the definition of "minor" in the state's obscenity laws to include visual depictions that are indistinguishable from actual minors. This change aims to ensure that any depiction that a viewer would reasonably conclude is of an actual minor falls under the state's regulations on obscene material. The bill also defines terms such as "sexual conduct," "simulated," and "visual depiction" to clarify the scope of the law.
