Summary
The bill clarifies when the crime of using a communications system to facilitate offenses involving children applies. It limits the offense to cases where the child is within the age ranges defined by law, or where a law‑enforcement officer is posing as a child within those age ranges while performing official duties. This narrows the scope of the existing statute.
