Bill > S828

This bill, the Child Protection & Deepfake Prohibition Act, amends existing laws to prohibit the creation, possession, and distribution of visual representations that appear to show a minor engaged in sexual activity, even if they are "deepfaked" or digitally altered. It updates the definitions of first, second, and third-degree sexual exploitation of a minor to include these manipulated images. The bill also appropriates $1 million in funding to the Department of Public Safety to assist law enforcement in enforcing these updated laws, which will take effect in December 2024.
