Sex crimes and child safety.

Summary

HB 1303 updates Indiana’s child‑safety statutes by tightening reporting rules for sex offenders, redefining "missing child" to include high‑risk missing persons, and extending the silver‑alert system to missing children. It also separates child‑sex‑abuse‑material offenses into their own sections, adds a crime for distributing such material, and aligns civil‑case discovery rules with criminal ones. The changes affect state employees who work with children, law‑enforcement agencies, and anyone subject to sex‑offender registration.
