SB 89 revises defenses to prosecution for offenses involving obscene or harmful materials. It removes the affirmative defense that such material distribution or exhibition was for scientific or educational purposes. The bill introduces a defense for judicial or law enforcement officers engaged in official duties and retains affirmative defenses based on specific relationships or age differences between involved parties. The changes apply only to offenses committed on or after the effective date.
