SB277 amends Hawaii law to redefine and penalize promoting minor-produced sexual images in the first degree. It specifies that a person aged 18 or older commits this offense if they intentionally or knowingly encourage a minor to transmit a nude photograph or video using electronic devices. The bill sets different penalties based on the age difference between the offender and the minor. Additionally, it modifies probation terms for certain offenses and updates the definition of "sexual offense" to include new categories of offenses involving minors.
