SJR 29 Alabama Senate · 2026 Regular Session

President of the United States, urged to address sextortion

SJR 29 is a non-binding resolution from the Alabama Legislature urging the President to prioritize online sextortion of minors as a top domestic issue in the State of the Union address. It cites FBI data showing over 13,000 reports of financial sextortion against minors (primarily boys) between 2021-2023, involving 12,600 victims and linked to at least 20 suicides. The resolution notes Alabama has enacted state laws (Acts 2025-302 and 2025-386) to address sextortion but emphasizes this crisis requires federal action. It does not create new laws or alter existing policies - it solely requests the President elevate the issue publicly.
