The Pennsylvania Senate is moving a set of bills to update state law on explicit images of children, including a measure to combat depictions generated by artificial intelligence.
The Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday voted unanimously in favor of three bills. Two of these replace the term “child pornography” in existing state statutes with the more current and applicable term “child sexual abuse material.” The change “aligns the commonwealth’s statutes with federal law and regulations” and was recommended by the state’s task force on combatting child pornography, said Sen. Maria Collett, D-Montgomery County.Proposed scholarships would make going to college cheaper in Pa., but there’s a catchIf you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
