Concerning sexually explicit depictions of minors.

SB 5094 redefines "digitization" to explicitly include AI-generated images of minors, making it illegal to create or alter visual content depicting minors in sexually explicit conduct using such technology. It directly affects individuals who produce, distribute, or possess fabricated depictions of minors created through AI or other digitization methods. The bill amends Washington’s sexual exploitation laws to clarify that knowingly causing minors to be photographed during explicit conduct (including when unconscious) constitutes a class B felony, and adds this offense to the list of crimes with no statute of limitations for prosecution. Key provisions include defining "sexually explicit conduct" broadly and expanding the scope of prohibited "fabricated depictions" to cover AI-generated material.
