HB240 makes it illegal for a school employee to solicit a student to send obscene material to any person and classifies distributing or soliciting such material involving a student as a Class A misdemeanor.
The bill adds two crimes for school employees: distributing obscene material to a student, and soliciting a student to transmit obscene material to any person. Both actions would be Class A misdemeanors. The bill is treated as creating or amending a crime, so it is exempt from Amendment 621 local-funding requirements. It takes effect on the first day of the third month after it becomes law.
