This bill amends Alaska's criminal code to enhance protections for minors against sexual abuse and related offenses by raising the age of a minor from 16 to 18 in various contexts, including civil claims for sexual abuse, homicide, assault, stalking, and sexual offenses. Victims of sexual abuse under the new age threshold can now seek damages from their perpetrators, and the definitions of crimes such as murder and sexual abuse have been updated accordingly. The bill also introduces stricter penalties for offenses involving minors, including reclassifying indecent exposure and enticement of a minor, and clarifies legal language to ensure consistency with the new age of majority.

Additionally, the bill revises laws regarding the registration and classification of sex offenders and child kidnappers, establishing that the duty to register lasts for life for those convicted of aggravated sex offenses or multiple offenses. It specifies that individuals convicted of indecent exposure to minors more than twice are considered to have committed multiple sex offenses. The bill broadens the definition of "sex offense," clarifies conditions for registration, and repeals certain existing statutes, aiming to enhance public safety by ensuring effective monitoring of serious sexual offenders and providing clear definitions and requirements for these offenses.
