AB 1705: Pornographic internet websites.

This bill would require an operator of a pornographic internet website to exercise ordinary care and reasonable diligence to ensure that each instance of sexually explicit content displayed on the website does not include a depicted individual. The bill would also require users to submit specific information, including a statement certifying that each individual depicted in the content meets certain criteria. Users found to have provided false information would be punishable as an infraction. The bill would authorize a depicted individual and a public prosecutor to bring a civil action to enforce these provisions. This bill would expand the crime of perjury and create a new crime, imposing a state-mandated local program.
