Governor Signed
Summary
The bill updates Utah law to treat AI‑generated or otherwise fabricated images of minors as child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and creates new crimes for possessing, distributing or failing to report such material. It also requires public libraries to block CSAM, mandates background checks for anyone with direct access to children or vulnerable adults, and establishes an Internet Crimes Against Children unit. The changes affect law‑enforcement, libraries, technology workers, and anyone charged with CSAM‑related offenses.
