If a company keeps your identifying information when the law requires deletion, you can get actual damages. A court… - AI and child-like images now illegal: benefit, medium. The law says a child is anyone under 18. It expands child sexual abuse material to include images that show a child, show someone with child‑like features, or are obscene and show a real or computer‑made child. Computer‑generated and digitally altered images count the same as photos. This makes AI… - CSAM crimes now count for racketeering: benefit, medium. Acts involving illegal visual depictions of sexually explicit conduct and Computer Crimes Act violations now count as racketeering activity. Prosecutors can use these acts as predicates to bring racketeering cases against coordinated criminal groups. - Stronger civil rules on sexual content with minors: benefit, medium. Businesses cannot make public or monetize sexual content that shows people under 18, trafficking victims, or anyone who did not consent. Telecommunications services are excluded. Civil laws now use “child sexual abuse material,” align with the criminal definitions, and bar parents or guardians from… - Narrow defenses for teen-made images: benefit, low. The law creates two narrow defenses in cases about youth-created sexual images. People 18 but under 19 can use a defense only if the image shows a child 15 or older, the child made and gave it voluntarily, it shows only one other child, there was no sharing to others, and there was no coercion. Peo… - Stronger privacy and software install rules: benefit, low. The law bans businesses from lying in privacy policies about how they use your personal information. It also bans installing or offering file-sharing programs on someone else’s computer without clear notice and an intentional opt-in by the owner. Companies cannot block reasonable efforts to stop, r… - Stronger child-protection enforcement and reporting: benefit, low. The Attorney General’s Child Protection Division now covers CSAM offenses and helps county attorneys on request. Prisons must order mental‑health evaluations at least 180 days before release for people convicted of listed sexual offenses, including CSAM conduct. Film and photo processors who in goo… - Harsher penalties for CSAM possession and sharing: cost, high. Adults 19 or older who knowingly possess or receive child sexual abuse material commit a Class IIA felony. If you are under 19, a first possession/receipt offense is a Class I misdemeanor; a later offense is a Class IV felony. Possessing CSAM with intent to distribute is a Class IIIA felony if unde… - Harsher repeat penalties and $100/month fees: cost, medium. The law defines "covered offense" to include child sexual abuse material crimes, certain drug distribution crimes, and several gambling crimes. If you possess or receive child sexual abuse material and have a past covered-offense conviction, the new offense is a Class IC felony. When a failure-to-a… - More CSAM convictions require sex offender registration: cost, medium. People convicted on or after January 1, 1997 of conduct tied to child sexual abuse material must register as sex offenders. The law also adds receiving CSAM (not just possessing) to the list that triggers registration. Registrants must follow reporting, residence, and other rules under the Sex Offe… - Tougher repeat-offender rules for online enticement: cost, medium. Repeat offenders who break the electronic‑enticement law and have a prior covered offense commit a Class IC felony. The law also clarifies terms used in enticement cases by defining electronic communication device and aligning the meanings of sexually explicit conduct and visual depiction. - Stronger forfeiture rules and owner protections: mixed, high. Courts can seize money, cars, guns, phones, computers, and related gear when a person is convicted and the case asked for forfeiture. The prosecutor must give notice in the charging papers and, before sentencing, prove by clear and convincing evidence which property was tied to the crime. A defenda… - Social media accounts for minors need parent OK: mixed, medium. Beginning July 1, 2026, platforms must use reasonable age checks and cannot let Nebraska minors open accounts without express parental consent. A parent must verify their age and return a signed oath or form by mail, fax, or electronic scan. Third‑party verifiers must delete identifying data after… - More time to charge child sex crimes: mixed, medium. For certain offenses, prosecutors have seven years from the crime or seven years after the victim turns 18, whichever is later. Some listed crimes have no time limit to charge, especially when the victim was under 16. The law also says sections 3 and 4 do not apply to crimes before August 30, 2015. - Outdated sections repealed after law rewrite: mixed, low. The law repeals a list of older statutes, including section 28-1463.04, to align with the new child sexual abuse material framework. This cleans up and replaces prior sections that no longer apply. - Strict custody rules for CSAM evidence: mixed, low. Child sexual abuse material must stay in the custody of law enforcement, the prosecutor, or the court. No one can copy or distribute it, but the state must allow inspection at a law enforcement or state‑run facility. Defense experts can get copies only by court order and must return them when done.… ## Sponsors and cosponsors - Sponsor: Tanya Storer, Senate ## Roll call votes | Date | Chamber | Motion | Result | Yes | No | Other | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 2025-05-14 | legislature | Final Reading | pass | 46 | 3 | | | 2025-04-30 | legislature | Vote | fail | 33 | 0 | 16 | | 2025-04-30 | legislature | Vote | fail | 12 | 33 | 4 | | 2025-04-30 | legislature | Vote | fail | 38 | 4 | 7 | | 2025-04-11 | legislature | Vote | fail | 41 | 0 | 8 | | 2025-04-11 | legislature | Vote | fail | 40 | 0 | 9 | | 2025-04-11 | legislature | Vote | fail | 39 | 0 | 10 | | 2025-04-11 | legislature | Vote | fail | 30 | 4 | 15 | | 2025-04-11 | legislature | Vote | fail | 38 | 2 | 9 | | 2025-04-10 | legislature | Vote | fail | 4 | 26 | 19 | | | legislature | Vote | fail | 12 | 33 | 4 | | | legislature | Vote | fail | 40 | 0 | 9 | | | legislature | Vote | fail | 41 | 0 | 8 | | | legislature | Vote | fail | 33 | 0 | 16 | | | legislature | Vote | fail | 39 | 0 | 10 | | | legislature | Vote | fail | 4 | 26 | 19 | | | legislature | Vote | fail | 30 | 4 | 15 | ## Actions (42) - 2025-06-06: Provisions/portions of LB172 amended into LB383 by AM1009 (legislature) - 2025-05-20: Approved by Governor on May 20, 2025 (legislature) - 2025-05-14: Presented to Governor on May 14, 2025 (legislature) - 2025-05-14: President/Speaker signed (legislature) - 2025-05-14: Passed on Final Reading 46-3*-0 (legislature) - 2025-05-14: Dispensing of reading at large approved (legislature) - 2025-05-06: Enrollment and Review ST31 recorded (legislature) - 2025-05-06: Enrollment and Review ST31 filed (legislature) - 2025-05-06: Placed on Final Reading with ST31 (legislature) - 2025-04-30: Advanced to Enrollment and Review for Engrossment (legislature) - 2025-04-30: McKinney AM1115 lost (legislature) - 2025-04-30: McKinney AM1115 filed (legislature) - 2025-04-30: Storer FA133 withdrawn (legislature) - 2025-04-30: Storer AM1180 adopted (legislature) - 2025-04-30: Enrollment and Review ER53 adopted (legislature) - 2025-04-24: Storer AM1180 filed (legislature) - 2025-04-24: Storer FA133 filed (legislature) - 2025-04-22: Enrollment and Review ER53 filed (legislature) - 2025-04-22: Placed on Select File with ER53 (legislature) - 2025-04-11: Advanced to Enrollment and Review Initial (legislature) - 2025-04-11: Storer AM1016 adopted (legislature) - 2025-04-11: Judiciary AM1009 adopted (legislature) - 2025-04-11: Judiciary AM1010 adopted (legislature) - 2025-04-11: Cavanaugh, J.
