An Act protecting minors from the creation of computer-generated child sexual abuse visual materials

This bill (HD 3605) makes it a crime to create computer-generated images or videos that falsely appear to depict minors in sexually abusive situations, with sexual intent. It specifically targets digital material designed to look authentic, such as AI-generated images. Offenders face penalties including up to 10 years in prison, fines up to $50,000, or both. The law directly affects individuals creating such material, expanding existing protections to cover computer-generated content that could be mistaken for real child sexual abuse material.
