The bill outlines the penalties for various offenses, including felony charges for trafficking in child sexual abuse material and unlawful pornography, with significant prison terms and fines. It also specifies that victims of trafficking offenses may seek statutory damages and injunctive relief. Furthermore, it establishes that violations involving obscene materials or unlawful pornography can result in misdemeanor charges.
