Florida updates child sexual abuse terminology

Beginning July 1, 2026, Florida law uses “child sexual abuse material” instead of “child pornography” in affected statutes. Courts must apply earlier state and federal court interpretations of the old term in the same way. This terminology change does not change legal definitions or what prosecutors must prove for an offense.
