UT HB0114

Creates four new stand-alone criminal offenses by separating performance-related conduct from material distribution offenses: unlawful pornographic performance, aiding a minor in an unlawful pornographic performance, engaging in a performance harmful to minors in the presence of a minor, and aiding a minor to engage in such a performance

Changes the mental state required for conviction of engaging in a performance harmful to minors from "intentional" to either "knowing" (aware a minor is present) or "reckless" (disregarding whether a minor may be present)

Establishes tiered penalties based on actor's age: third degree felony with minimum $1,000 fine and 30 days incarceration for adults 18+, class A misdemeanor for ages 16-17, and class B misdemeanor for those under 16

Adds the new stand-alone offenses to existing statutes governing patterns of unlawful activity (RICO provisions), property forfeiture, court orders for criminal investigations, and civil enforcement actions

Takes effect May 6, 2026, and includes a coordination clause with S.B. 18 (Criminal Offense Modifications) if both bills pass
