Urges Congress to amend the "Communication Decency Act of 1996."
This New Jersey resolution urges Congress to amend Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act to clarify that it does not block enforcement of state and federal laws against child sexual exploitation. It specifically proposes adding language to Section 230(e)(1) stating the law shouldn’t impair enforcement of Title 18 provisions on child exploitation (Section 110), obscenity (Section 223), and related criminal statutes. The amendment would help state prosecutors, as current Section 230 immunity has blocked enforcement of laws like New Jersey’s Human Trafficking Act, which criminalizes online advertising of child sexual abuse. This follows court rulings invalidating similar state laws under Section 230.
