This bill proposes the repeal of an educational and library exception to the offense of promoting obscenity, specifically targeting the language found in W.S. 6-4-302(c)(ii). By removing this exception, the bill aims to tighten regulations surrounding the promotion of obscenity, thereby eliminating any legal protections that may have previously allowed educational and library institutions to distribute or display materials that could be considered obscene.
The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2023, marking a significant change in the legal landscape regarding obscenity laws in Wyoming. This move reflects a shift towards stricter enforcement of obscenity regulations, potentially impacting how educational and library resources are managed and accessed in the state.
