ACR 130 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Urges Congress to amend the "Communication Decency Act of 1996."

This New Jersey concurrent resolution urges Congress to amend Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996 to allow state and local authorities to prosecute individuals who promote child sexual exploitation online. The bill seeks to modify federal law so that internet service providers and platforms cannot use Section 230 immunity as a shield against criminal charges related to child pornography and human trafficking. By requesting this change, the resolution aims to enable law enforcement to enforce existing state and federal criminal statutes without conflict with federal internet liability protections. The measure does not create new laws but instead asks Congress to adjust current federal protections to better align with efforts to combat online child exploitation.
