HB 3063 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Modifies and establishes provisions relating to sexual offenses

HB 3063 updates Missouri's laws on sexual offenses by clarifying definitions and expanding protections for minors. It specifically defines "child sexual abuse material" to include digital images that appear to show minors engaging in sexual conduct (even if created with adults), anatomically correct dolls used for sexual purposes, and material featuring identifiable minors. The bill directly affects venues like cabarets, bars, and restaurants that regularly feature semi-nude performances, and anyone distributing or promoting explicit material. Key provisions include new standards for determining what constitutes "obscene" or "pornographic for minors" material, and clearer rules for businesses operating "sexually oriented establishments." These changes aim to strengthen legal tools for prosecuting offenses involving minors.
