Bill > HR5082

This bill, the Revising Existing Procedures On Reporting via Technology (RE-PORT) Act, aims to modernize the liability framework for reporting online sexual exploitation of children to the CyberTipline operated by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC). The key provisions include: 1. Limiting liability for NCMEC-contracted vendors handling reported child pornography, provided they follow certain security and access protocols. 2. Limiting liability for individuals or their representatives who report child pornography depicting the individual as a minor, unless they engaged in intentional misconduct or other unlawful activity. 3. Extending the mandatory preservation of CyberTipline reports from 90 days to 1 year, with an option for providers to preserve the reports for longer. 4. Increasing the potential fines for providers who fail to report suspected online exploitation of minors to the CyberTipline, tiered based on the provider's number of monthly active users. The bill aims to encourage and facilitate the reporting of online child sexual exploitation while providing legal protections for those engaged in this important work.
