The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 347, seeks to amend section 53a-193 of the general statutes to update the definition of child pornography. The new legal language inserted into the statute specifies that the definition will now include images in which a person appears indistinguishable from a person under sixteen years of age. This change aims to align state law with federal definitions regarding virtual children and enhance the legal framework surrounding child pornography.

The bill does not indicate any deletions from the current law but focuses solely on the insertion of the new definition. By expanding the criteria for what constitutes child pornography, the bill intends to address emerging concerns related to digital and virtual representations of minors, thereby strengthening protections against exploitation.
