Summary
H.B. 1582 would amend Hawaii’s harmful to minors law so that the material must appeal to “the” prurient interest. Presently, it must appeal to the minor’s prurient interest.
The existing harmful to minors law is unconstitutional as it is missing the patently offensive prong of the Miller/Ginsberg test.
