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" would be expanded to include visual depictions that are indistinguishable from an actual minor.
Furthermore, the bill broadens the definition of "visual depiction" to encompass images created or modified using computer software, artificial intelligence, or other digital editing tools. This change aims to address the evolving nature of visual content and its implications for child exploitation laws. The bill also includes the deletion of outdated definitions and reorganization of the numbering of the sections to accommodate the new language.
