(a)The General Assembly determines that during the past several years, the spread of obscene publications has become a matter of increasingly grave concern to the people of this state.

(c)The accomplishment of these ends can best be achieved by providing prosecuting attorneys both with a speedy civil remedy for obtaining a judicial determination of the character and contents of publications and with an effective power to reach nonresidents responsible for the composition, publication, and distribution of obscene publications within the state.
