Child abuse victims protections related to interviews apply to all recordings clarification provision and changes to terms used in statutes that punish creation, distribution, and possession of sexually explicit materials involving children proposal provision

This bill clarifies that protections for child abuse victims during interviews apply to **all recordings** (including audio), not just video. It updates terminology in statutes governing child sexual abuse materials to ensure consistency, such as replacing "child pornography" with "child sexual abuse material" in multiple sections. The changes affect **child abuse victims** whose interviews are recorded, ensuring their privacy and safety during legal proceedings, and **individuals accused of distributing or possessing child sexual abuse materials** by standardizing legal definitions. The bill makes technical amendments to Minnesota statutes without creating new penalties or altering existing legal standards.
