The bill proposes a legislative management study during the 2025-26 interim to review state laws concerning criminal conduct against children, including child sexual abuse, physical abuse, neglect, and human trafficking. The study aims to evaluate the terminology used in existing laws, specifically considering the replacement of "sexual performance" with "child sexually abusive material" in relation to child pornography. Additionally, it will examine state laws regarding the use of artificial intelligence in crimes involving minors and assess other protective laws for children that aid in the investigation and prosecution of such crimes.
The findings and recommendations from this study, along with any necessary legislation to implement these recommendations, will be reported to the seventieth legislative assembly. This initiative underscores the commitment to enhancing legal frameworks that protect children from various forms of abuse and exploitation.
