Substitute offered
by
To replace the previous version of the bill with one which seeks to conform to the provisions of a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling declaring a similar federal statute unconstitutional. The court ruled that the creation, possession and distribution of virtual child pornography (i.e. pornography created without the use of any images of actual children) could not be made a crime unless the material was shown to be obscene. This substitute requires that either the material depicts an actual child, OR satisfies the legal definition of “obscenity”.
The substitute passed by voice vote

To establish a new date on which the bill will go into effect if passed.
