Child sex abuse material.
SB 174 changes the terminology used in Indiana law by replacing the phrase "child pornography" with "child sex abuse material" throughout the Indiana Code. This bill directly affects legal definitions and references within state statutes, including criminal codes and related provisions. The key mechanism is a straightforward terminology update to align with current language standards, without altering legal penalties or procedures. The bill is procedural in nature, focusing solely on terminology rather than introducing new policies or penalties. It was introduced by Senator Yoder and referred to the Corrections and Criminal Law committee.
