HOUSE BILL 465
Law
Sexual abuse, visual representation
CRIMES AGAINST CHILDREN – Amends and adds to existing law to provide for the crime of visual representations of the sexual abuse of children and to revise provisions regarding the Internet Crimes Against Children Unit.
RS31141 / H0465
This legislation amends the criminal child pornography, sexual exploitation of a child law to include artificial intelligence generated sexual depictions of children wherein the depictions appear to be that of real children. The legislation sets penalties, including minimum and maximum terms in prison. Immunity is provided, in certain instances, for law enforcement officers. It revises provisions regarding the internet crimes against children unit of the office of the attorney general. There are also technical corrections.
This legislation will have minimal impact on the General Fund as child pornography is presently illegal and prosecuted by state and local law enforcement, and the office of the attorney general.
