This bill establishes a new legal framework to criminalize the creation of intimate visual representations of children for prurient purposes, categorizing such actions as a class B felony and a tier II registrable offense. Specifically, it introduces a new section, RSA 649-A:3-c, which prohibits any person from knowingly creating, producing, manufacturing, or directing an intimate visual representation of a child that is identifiable. The bill defines "intimate visual representation" as any visual depiction that includes a child's intimate parts, and it outlines the meanings of terms such as "intimate parts," "synthetic image," and "prurient purposes."

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. The amendments to RSA 651-B:1 include the insertion of the new offense under both the definitions of offenses against a child and tier II offenders. The act is set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
