This bill amends various sections of Oklahoma law related to obscenity and child sexual abuse material, specifically updating the terminology from "pornography" to "sexual abuse material." It introduces new definitions and clarifies existing ones, such as defining "unlawful pornography" and establishing the criteria for what constitutes "obscene" material. The bill also outlines the penalties for violations, including felony charges for the production, distribution, or possession of child sexual abuse material, with specific fines and imprisonment terms. Additionally, it allows for civil actions against individuals who produce or distribute unlawful pornography lacking serious literary, artistic, educational, political, or scientific value.

Furthermore, the bill includes a severability clause, ensuring that if any part of the law is found unconstitutional, the remaining provisions will still stand. It also specifies that victims of trafficking offenses may seek statutory damages and injunctive relief. The effective date for the implementation of this act is set for November 1, 2025. Overall, the bill aims to strengthen the legal framework surrounding the prosecution of obscenity and child sexual abuse material in Oklahoma.
