AI Summary

This bill, the Jurists United to Stop Trafficking Imitation Child Exploitation (JUSTICE) Act of 2019, aims to amend federal law to prohibit the importation or transportation of child sex dolls. The bill defines "child sex doll" as an anatomically-correct doll, mannequin, or robot with features resembling a minor, intended for use in sexual acts.
