On Tuesday, February 20, HB 157 (Spano) was adopted by the full House on a voice vote. This FCCB-supported resolution recognizes the public health risk created by pornography and acknowledges the need for education, prevention, research and policy change to protect the residents of Florida. Lawmakers in eight other states have passed similar resolutions.
A growing body of research demonstrates the negative impacts of pornography on children and teens; the role of pornography in the demand for human trafficking, prostitution, and child pornography; the potential for addiction to pornography; mental and physical illnesses caused by pornography; and the negative impact on intimate relationships and families.
