Intent; child sexual abuse material; applicability.
Text — 2026 Florida Statutes
(1) It is the intent of the Legislature to change the term “child pornography” to the term “child sexual abuse material” throughout the Florida Statutes. Using the term “child sexual abuse material” represents the nature of the sexually abusive content, emphasizing that the child is a victim of such content. Changing the term “child pornography” to “child sexual abuse material” is not intended to change or alter in any other way the definition of the term or the elements of any offense relating to child pornography.
(2) Any prior judicial interpretation or finding from state or federal case law relating to child pornography must be applied in the same manner to any offense relating to child sexual abuse material.
(3) This section applies to any law that uses the term “child sexual abuse material,” including in this chapter and chapters 39, 92, 435, 456, 775, 827, 836, 903, 948, and 960.
