The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend section 13-3551 of the Arizona Revised Statutes to update definitions related to the sexual exploitation of children. It introduces a new definition for "indistinguishable," which refers to visual depictions that a viewer would reasonably conclude are of an actual minor. Additionally, the definition of "minor" is expanded to include visual depictions that are indistinguishable from an actual minor. This change aims to enhance the legal framework surrounding the protection of minors in the context of digital and visual media.

Furthermore, the bill broadens the definition of "visual depiction" to encompass images created or modified through computer software, artificial intelligence, or other digital editing tools. This update reflects the evolving nature of technology and its implications for child exploitation laws. The bill also makes several deletions of outdated terms and definitions, streamlining the language to better align with contemporary issues in obscenity and child protection.
