Hearing (House)
Summary
The bill expands Maryland’s obscenity law to treat drawings and illustrations the same as photos, videos, and books when it comes to obscene content. It makes it illegal for anyone to knowingly show or sell such material to a minor, and it specifically bars public schools and other places frequented by children from displaying it. Violations are misdemeanors with up to a year in jail for a first offense and higher penalties for repeat offenses.
