Bill > S2422

This bill amends the statute punishing child pornography by replacing the term "child pornography" with the term "child sexual abuse material." The bill maintains the existing prohibitions on knowingly producing, transporting, reproducing, or possessing such material, with fines and prison sentences for violations. The definitions of key terms like "child sexual abuse material" and "sexually explicit conduct" are also updated accordingly. The bill also provides affirmative defenses for certain possession cases. This bill would take effect upon passage.
