or performances harmful to minors — Prohibited acts. The Legislature finds that protecting minor children from overtly sexual and violent content is a legitimate objective that should be actively enforced. The Legislature further finds that the protection of the right of the people to engage in the freedom of speech and expression is a sacred right in the United States; however, such performances and materials may not contain depictions of sexual conduct, nudity, or inappropriate violence which are harmful to minor children. Therefore, it is the intent of the Legislature that these provisions be diligently enforced to protect minor children while also protecting the free speech rights of the public. No person, including but not limited to any persons having custody, control or supervision of any commercial establishment, shall knowingly: 1. Display material which is harmful to minors in such a way that minors, as a part of the invited general public, will be exposed to view such material. Provided, however, a person shall be deemed not to have "displayed" material harmful to minors if the material is kept behind devices commonly known as "blinder racks" so that the lower two-thirds (2/3) of the material is not exposed to view; 2. Sell, furnish, present, distribute, allow to view, or otherwise disseminate to a minor, with or without consideration, any material which is harmful to minors; or 3. Present to a minor or participate in presenting to a minor, with or without consideration, any performance which is harmful to a minor.
