What it does
The Stop Comstock Act would amend federal law to remove outdated provisions related to obscenity and abortion from Title 18 of the U.S. Code and the Tariff Act of 1930. Specifically, it would repeal language criminalizing the distribution of materials deemed "indecent" or "immoral," including references to abortion-related items, and update cross-references in obscenity statutes. The bill affects federal criminal law and customs enforcement by eliminating certain prohibitions on the mailing, importation, or carriage of materials previously classified as obscene or indecent under the Comstock-era statutes.
