Present law provides that "Child sexual abuse materials" is any photograph, video tape, film, or other reproduction, whether electronic or otherwise, of any sexual performance involving a child under the age of seventeen.
Proposed law adds "deepfakes" to the definition of what constitutes "Child sexual abuse materials."
Proposed law then seeks to exclude from the definition of "deepfakes" "any material that constitutes a work of political, public interest, or newsworthy value, including commentary, criticism, satire, or parody, or that includes content, context, or a clear disclosure visible throughout the duration of the recording that would cause a reasonable person to understand that the audioor visual media is not a record of a real event.
The production, promotion, advertising, distribution, possession, or possession with the intent to distribute any sexual performance involving a child under the age of seventeen SHOULD BE ILLEGAL WITHOUT EXCLUSIONS.

This amendment restricts access to and public disclosure of criminal history information that is currently discoverable and critical for testing the credibility of witnesses. By shielding such information from dissemination and the public record, it undermines a defendantβs ability to confront witnesses and reduces transparency in judicial proceedings. If the state maintains and relies upon these databases, it should bear a corresponding duty to disclose that information to defendants required to answer its charges.

GENERAL OBJECTION TO INCORPORATION OF FEDERAL DEFINITIONS BY REFERENCE: This measure relies on definitions contained in federal law, which may change over time outside the control of the legislature. Incorporating external definitions by reference creates uncertainty and can result in state law being altered without legislative action.
While aimed at protecting confidentiality, this proposal is overly restrictive and removes practical mechanismsβsuch as consentβthat allow individuals to share their own information when appropriate. It creates inefficiencies by requiring duplicate background checks and limiting information sharing even in legitimate employment contexts. Privacy protections should be balanced with practicality and the individualβs right to control their own information.

Free speech protections in the US and state constitution protect lies except in limited circumstances. This provision is unnecessary and overly broad, as existing fraud laws already prohibit obtaining benefits through deception. Creating a new offense based on specific subject matter risks over criminalization without clear added benefit. Additionally, the term βinjureβ as used is vague and will certainly lead to abuse..
