SB 130 Wisconsin Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relating to: the distribution of certain material on the Internet.

SB 130 removes the exception for "obscene material" from existing laws governing online distribution of certain content. It directly affects online platforms, content distributors, and users sharing material that meets the bill's definition. The key mechanism establishes civil penalties of $100-$10,000 per violation, allowing state departments to investigate violations and seek fines or injunctions to address non-compliance. The bill focuses on enforcement of existing online content standards without changing the core definition of prohibited material. (Note: This summary is based solely on the provided text; the bill's specific definition of "certain material" is not detailed in the context.)
