The bill amends Chapter 11-9 of the General Laws by adding a new section titled "Prohibition of obscene material." This section defines key terms such as "minor," "sexually explicit conduct," and "visual depiction." It establishes that it is a violation for any person to knowingly produce, distribute, receive, or possess with intent to distribute visual depictions of minors engaging in sexually explicit conduct that are deemed obscene and lack serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value. Additionally, it prohibits making such material available to minors.

The bill outlines specific penalties for violations:
- Violations involving the production or distribution of such material can result in fines of up to $5,000 and imprisonment for up to 15 years.
- Violations involving possession of such material can result in fines of up to $5,000 and imprisonment for up to 5 years.
- Violations involving making such material available to minors can result in fines of up to $1,000 and imprisonment for up to 2 years.

The bill also includes provisions for affirmative defenses, stating that it shall be an affirmative defense to a charge of violating possession if the defendant possessed less than three such visual depictions and took reasonable steps to destroy or report them. Furthermore, the bill contains a severability clause, ensuring that if any provision is held invalid, the remaining provisions will still be enforceable. This act will take effect upon passage.
