The bill amends section 827.072 of the Florida Statutes to enhance the legal framework surrounding generated child pornography. It specifically prohibits the creation, download, or possession of a photograph or image of a person with the intention of using such material to create generated child pornography. The bill establishes that individuals who intentionally create generated child pornography or create, download, or possess a photograph or image for this purpose will be committing a felony of the third degree, subject to penalties outlined in sections 775.082, 775.083, or 775.084.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that the existing prohibition on knowingly possessing or intentionally viewing generated child pornography remains in effect, with each instance considered a separate offense. The amendment also specifies that the prohibition does not apply to materials involved in law enforcement investigations. The act is set to take effect on October 1, 2025.
