Replaces the term "child pornography" with the term "child sex abuse material" throughout the Indiana Code. Provides that it is a defense to prosecution of child exploitation and possession of child sex abuse material if a school employee, department of child services employee, or attorney acting in the attorney's capacity as legal counsel: (1) promptly and in good faith notified law enforcement about the image or matter depicting the sexual conduct; and (2) did not duplicate, upload, download, or otherwise transfer the image or matter. Provides that a governmental entity may not organize or host an obscene performance or fund an obscene performance using public funds, and authorizes a person to seek injunctive relief as a remedy for a violation. Specifies the intent of the general assembly concerning P.L.115-2023.
