Taxpayer funds-sexually explicit events prohibited-2.
HB 134 prohibits state and federal funds from being used by public entities - including government agencies, schools, universities, and local governments - to sponsor or contribute to events deemed "sexually explicit." It defines such events as those depicting nudity or sexual conduct (excluding age-appropriate sex education) and establishes a process where specific entities (e.g., school boards or the governor) must determine if an event qualifies within 30 days. If funds were improperly used, recipients must repay the money within 20 business days, with appeals allowed through a formal hearing process. The bill takes effect July 1, 2025.
