Illinois SB3192 amends the Criminal Code of 2012 to redefine "child pornography" as "child sexual abuse material." This change aims to more accurately reflect the nature of these materials and the exploitation of children. The bill exempts minors who are the sole subjects of their own depictions from criminal penalties. It also removes the exemption for creators of films, videos, photographs, or other visual depictions where they are the sole subjects. The bill includes provisions for fines, mandatory minimum sentences, and potential property forfeiture for violations.
