SB 88 modifies the Texas Penal Code by redefining "harmful material" to remove the requirement that such material must be "utterly without redeeming social value." It instead defines harmful material as that which appeals to the prurient interest of minors, is patently offensive to prevailing community standards, and lacks redeeming social value for minors. These changes apply only to offenses occurring on or after the effective date of the act.
