Research summary

Legal information, not legal advice. This is LexLint's own research summary of a public legal source, and it creates no attorney-client relationship. For decisions that matter, consult qualified counsel in the relevant jurisdiction. About LexLint

A 2025 amendment (LB 383) revised the Act's definitions so that child sexual abuse material includes an obscene visual depiction of a computer-generated person who is, or would appear to a reasonable person to be, a child, whether or not any real child was used to produce the image. The Act defines computer-generated to include an image created, adapted, or modified using artificial intelligence.

Knowing possession or receipt of such material by a person nineteen or older is a Class IIA felony, by a person under nineteen a Class I misdemeanor rising to a Class IV felony on a second or later conviction, and a Class IC felony for anyone with a prior covered-offense conviction.

LB 383 carries no emergency clause, so this provision takes effect under Nebraska's general rule for a non-emergency act, three calendar months after the Legislature adjourns; the calendar day this produced for the 2025 session has not been located in an official record.
