Legislature, Second Regular Session

AMENDED

FACT SHEET FOR
H.B. 2192

video content; minors; employment; compensation

Purpose

Prescribes requirements for content creators who include a minor in video
content.

Background

The federal
Communications Decency Act of 1996 states that providers of interactive
computer services cannot be treated as the publisher or speaker of information
provided by another content creator. A provider or user of an interactive
computer service must not be held liable on account of: 1)
any action voluntarily taken in good
faith to restrict access to, or availability of, material that the provider or
user considers to be obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent,
harassing or otherwise objectionable, whether or not such material is
constitutionally protected; or
2) any
action taken to enable or make available to information content providers, or
others, the technical means to restrict access to the material. A provider of
interactive computer services must, at the time of entering an agreement with a
customer for the provision of interactive computer services and in a manner
deemed appropriate by the provider, notify such customer that parental control
protections, such as computer hardware, software or filtering services, are
commercially available that may assist the customer in limiting access to
material that is harmful to minors. Such notice must identify, or provide the
customer with access to information identifying, current providers of such
protections (
47
U.S.C. � 230
).

Statute outlines
circumstances when a person commits sexual exploitation of a minor. Sexual
exploitation of a minor is a class 2 felony. If the minor is under 15 years of
age, it is punishable as a dangerous crime against children (A.R.S. ��
13-705
and
13-3553
).

There is no anticipated fiscal impact to the state
General Fund associated with this legislation.

a)

in
which only one minor meets the content threshold for compensation, the
percentage of total gross earnings on any video segment, including the
