pornography; distribution; requirements; attorney general

HB 2900 prohibits commercial businesses (including corporations, LLCs, and partnerships) from knowingly producing, selling, or distributing pornography within Arizona. It establishes civil penalties of up to $10,000 per day or per instance of violation and allows the Attorney General or private citizens to file lawsuits to enforce the law. The bill specifically exempts private possession/viewing of pornography, bona fide news organizations, and internet service providers from liability. Key definitions clarify that "pornography" must appeal to prurient interest without serious literary, artistic, or scientific value, and "commercially distribute" includes any sale or transfer for value.
