If enacted, this bill would amend section 13-3551 of the Arizona Revised Statutes to update definitions related to the sexual exploitation of children. The bill introduces new definitions, including "indistinguishable," which refers to visual depictions that a viewer would reasonably believe depict an actual minor. Additionally, the definition of "minor" is expanded to include visual depictions that are indistinguishable from an actual minor, thereby broadening the scope of what constitutes a minor in legal terms.

Furthermore, the bill revises the definition of "visual depiction" to encompass images created or modified through digital means, such as computer software or artificial intelligence. This change reflects the evolving nature of technology and its implications for child exploitation laws. The bill also removes outdated definitions and language, streamlining the statutory framework to better address contemporary issues surrounding digital and indistinguishable depictions of minors.
