HB1257 requires South Dakota's Legislative Research Council to create a temporary study committee to examine how minors are accessing pornographic material and what can be done about it. This establishes a fact-finding effort rather than creating new laws immediately, giving lawmakers time to research the issue before deciding whether to pass stricter regulations.
