A bill for an act relating to obscenity, including the exposure of a minor to an obscene performance and admittance of a minor to a premises with obscene performances, establishing a private civil cause of action, and providing penalties.

HF 891 defines "obscene performance" as visual acts involving explicit sexual content that appeals to prurient interest without artistic value, as judged by community standards for minors. It prohibits knowingly exposing minors to such performances (aggravated misdemeanor) and admitting minors to venues showing them (serious or aggravated misdemeanor, depending on the minor’s age). The bill establishes a private civil right for parents/guardians or minors (after age 18) to sue for at least $10,000 in damages if obscene material is disseminated to them. It also bans public institutions, facilities, and funds from being used for obscene performances or exhibitions.
