The bill amends Section 904.310A of the Iowa Code to restrict the use of funds appropriated to the Department of Corrections for distributing or making available sexually explicit material to inmates. Specifically, it prohibits the distribution of commercially published information or material that is sexually explicit or features nudity to any inmate committed to a department-controlled institution.

The bill provides a detailed definition of what constitutes sexually explicit material, including specific acts such as penetration, oral contact with genitalia, and the use of artificial sexual organs. The inclusion of these definitions aims to clarify the types of content that are deemed inappropriate for distribution within correctional facilities. The bill emphasizes that the explanations provided do not imply agreement with their substance by the members of the General Assembly.
