This bill establishes a new legal framework that criminalizes the creation, production, manufacture, or direction of intimate visual representations of children for prurient purposes, categorizing such actions as a class B felony and a tier II registrable offense. The bill introduces a new section, RSA 649-A:3-c, which defines "intimate visual representation" as any visual depiction that includes a child's intimate parts, and specifies that these representations must be identifiable to the child. The bill also clarifies terms such as "intimate parts," "synthetic image," and "prurient purposes," ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the offenses it addresses.

Additionally, the bill amends existing laws regarding the registration of criminal offenders by including the creation of a child intimate visual representation as a registrable offense under RSA 651-B:1. This amendment ensures that individuals convicted of this new offense will be subject to the same registration requirements as those convicted of other related offenses, such as possession and distribution of child sexual abuse images. The act is set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
