This legislative bill amends various sections of the Nebraska Revised Statutes to implement the Parental Rights in Social Media Act and rename the Child Pornography Prevention Act to the Child Sexual Abuse Material Prevention Act. It introduces new definitions, including "child sexual abuse material" and "computer-generated person," and establishes enhanced penalties for violations related to child sexual abuse material, such as possession, distribution, and production. The bill aims to streamline existing laws by eliminating obsolete provisions and providing clear definitions for terms related to child sexual abuse material, while also allowing for affirmative defenses for defendants under certain circumstances.

Additionally, the bill outlines stricter regulations for social media companies regarding minors' access to their platforms, requiring express parental consent for account creation and mandating age verification methods. It empowers parents with tools to supervise their children's accounts and allows individuals to bring civil actions against companies for violations. The Attorney General is designated to enforce the Act, which will take effect on July 1, 2026, while other sections will become operative on their effective date. Overall, the bill seeks to enhance protections for children and improve the legal framework surrounding offenses related to child sexual abuse material and social media use by minors.
