AI Summary
This bill amends several sections of the Alabama Code related to crimes and offenses. Specifically, it:
1. Defines the age of a "child" for the crime of transmitting obscene material to a child by computer as any person under 17 years of age.
2. Establishes jurisdiction for the crime of distributing a private image, which can be committed in any county where part of the crime took place, the victim or defendant resides, or the image was received.
3. Expands the definition of incest to include additional family relationships, and makes incest involving a victim under 17 years of age a Class A felony (the most serious felony classification).
The bill also notes that while it may require new or increased local government expenditures, it is exempt from certain constitutional requirements because it defines new crimes or amends existing ones. The bill will become effective three months after being signed into law.
