Bill > SB263

This bill expands Nevada's existing laws regarding child pornography to explicitly include computer-generated child pornography, creating comprehensive definitions for this new category. The legislation defines computer-generated child pornography as visual depictions that either modify actual images of children or adults to appear sexually explicit, or create entirely artificial representations using advanced technologies like artificial intelligence that are virtually indistinguishable from real minors. The bill increases criminal penalties, establishing that first-time offenders will face a category B felony with 1-15 years in prison and up to a $15,000 fine, while repeat offenders will be charged with a category A felony carrying a minimum 10-year sentence and potential life imprisonment. Additionally, the bill ensures that individuals convicted under these provisions will be required to register as sex offenders and face related legal restrictions. By broadening the definition of child pornography to include sophisticated computer-generated images, the legislation aims to address emerging technological methods of creating sexually explicit content involving minors and provide stronger legal protections against such materials.
