Existing law includes provisions criminalizing conduct involving obscene matter and child pornography, including making the distribution of this material criminal. Existing law defines the term "distribute" for purposes of crimes relating to obscene matter. This bill would include within this definition of "distribute" making available for access or possession over the Internet. The bill would also provide that nothing in the provisions criminalizing conduct involving obscene matter and child pornography shall be construed to permit an action against an interactive computer service, electronic communication service, or remote computing service, as defined, that is inconsistent with specified provisions of federal law. By revising the definition of existing crimes to expand their application, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
