Introduced·3/4/25
Introduced Text

The Protection of Minors from Pornography and Obscenities Act aims to strengthen laws against disseminating harmful materials to minors.

The Protection of Minors from Pornography and Obscenities Act amends South Carolina's definitions to include any portion of materials or performances that may be considered obscene, pornographic, or profane. It aims to close loopholes in current law that allow dissemination of harmful content to minors. The act redefines "harmful to minors" to include any sexually explicit nudity, sexual activity, or profane language that is patently offensive to community standards.
