Bill > S3021

This bill, known as the ENFORCE Act (Enhancing Necessary Federal Offenses Regarding Child Exploitation Act), proposes several key changes to federal law regarding child sexual abuse materials. First, it clarifies and expands the definition of producing child pornography by broadening the conditions under which such production is considered a federal crime, specifically when materials are transported across state lines or produced using interstate commerce-related materials. The bill also removes the statute of limitations for obscene visual representations of child sexual abuse, ensuring that such cases can be prosecuted regardless of when they occurred. Additionally, the legislation enhances enforcement by including crimes involving obscene visual representations of child sexual abuse in sex offender registration requirements and creating new restrictions on the handling of such materials during criminal proceedings. The bill introduces a presumption of detention for individuals charged with certain child sexual abuse-related offenses and modifies supervised release conditions for those convicted of these crimes. These provisions aim to strengthen legal protections for minors and improve the prosecution of individuals involved in creating, distributing, or possessing child sexual abuse materials.
