Creates separate crime for items depicting sexual exploitation or abuse of children; concerns computer generated or manipulated sexually explicit.

The bill creates a separate crime for items depicting sexual exploitation or abuse of children, including computer-generated or manipulated sexually explicit images. It separates the crime of child sexual abuse and exploitation material from child endangerment, clarifies definitions, and updates provisions to address generative AI. The bill also amends the obscenity statute to include manipulated depictions of children in sexual acts, and updates the invasion of privacy statute to include non-consensual depictions of intimate parts.
