Concerning offenses involving fabricated depictions of minors.
Effective date 6/11/2026.
Summary
The law expands Washington's child sexual abuse material statutes to cover fabricated depictions made with digital tools, including artificial intelligence, regardless of whether the minor can be identified. It makes it a Class B felony to develop, sell, or possess such images, treating each image as a separate offense. The measure aims to curb the spread of realistic, non‑real child sexual content that can desensitize viewers and hinder detection.
