It specifies that such material includes depictions of a child under 18 years of age engaging in a prohibited sexual act or in the simulation of a prohibited sexual act. The bill also includes depictions of the genitals or pubic area of a child in a patently offensive or sexually suggestive manner, and material that appeals to the prurient interest in sex.
