The resolution directs the Legislative Management of North Dakota to consider studying the negative impacts of pornography. It highlights the widespread availability of sexually explicit content and the potential risks it poses, particularly to children, who may experience low self-esteem, body image issues, and unhealthy sexual expectations as a result of early exposure. The resolution also points out the harmful nature of the adult entertainment industry, which often objectifies women and children and contributes to serious societal problems such as sex trafficking and sexual abuse.

The study proposed in the resolution aims to analyze current educational and preventive efforts regarding the consequences of pornography, explore potential policy changes, and gather input from relevant state agencies and stakeholders. The Legislative Management is tasked with reporting its findings and recommendations, along with any necessary legislation, to the Seventieth Legislative Assembly, emphasizing the importance of addressing the detrimental effects of pornography on society.
