SB 5183 - DIGEST

Declares that due to the changing nature of technology, offenders are now able to access child pornography in different ways, including in ways that may not constitute possession of depictions of a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct, as that term is presently defined. By amending the current statute governing possession of depictions of a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct, it is the intent of the legislature to ensure that intentional viewing of child pornography over the internet is subject to criminal penalty without limiting the scope of existing prohibitions on the possession of child pornography, including the possession of electronic depictions of a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct.
