The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 347, seeks to amend section 53a-193 of the general statutes to revise 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 definitions of child pornography with federal standards, particularly concerning virtual representations of children.

The bill does not indicate any deletions from the current law, focusing solely on the insertion of the new definition. The intent behind this legislative change is to enhance the legal framework surrounding child pornography and ensure that it adequately addresses modern challenges, including the use of digital and virtual imagery that may not involve actual minors but still poses significant legal and ethical concerns.
