Prohibit conduct involving computer-generated child pornography

LB 172 prohibits the creation, possession, and receipt of computer-generated child pornography in Nebraska. It defines this as digital images created using AI or computer programs to depict minors in sexually explicit situations, appearing indistinguishable from real children. The bill amends Nebraska statutes (sections 28-1463.02 and 28-813.01) to explicitly ban such material, treating it as a Class IIA felony for those 19+ to possess or receive, with lower penalties for minors under specific conditions. It updates existing child pornography laws to address AI-generated content while eliminating obsolete provisions. The law directly affects anyone producing, sharing, or accessing these digital depictions.
