Introduced Text

Arizona HB2900 prohibits commercial entities from distributing pornography and outlines penalties and enforcement mechanisms.

Arizona HB2900 amends the state's trade practices by adding a new article on pornography distribution. It prohibits commercial entities from knowingly producing, publishing, selling, or distributing pornography. The bill defines "pornography" as visual depictions appealing to prurient interests without serious value. It exempts bona fide news or public interest content and news gathering organizations. The attorney general can intervene in cases within 120 days, and private citizens can also bring actions if the attorney general declines.
