This bill proposes to amend current statutes by adding a new section, 13-3508, to the Arizona Revised Statutes, which establishes the offense of "unlawful exposure to an adult oriented performance." Under the new law, a person would commit this offense by intentionally allowing a minor under their custody to view such performances, permitting a minor to enter or remain in a location where these performances occur, or performing an adult oriented performance in view of a minor. The violation would be classified as a class 4 felony.
Additionally, the bill defines "adult oriented performance" as an in-person show that appeals to a prurient interest in sex and depicts or simulates specific sexual activities or lewd exposure of anatomical areas. The bill also includes technical and conforming changes to ensure clarity and consistency within the law. Overall, the proposed changes aim to enhance protections for minors against exposure to adult content in public settings.
