Allows persons depicted in sexual images when under 18 years old to bring civil action against those distributing the material, seeking actual damages, compensatory damages, punitive damages, injunctive relief, and attorney's fees.

Requires defendants to remove or disable distribution of such material within 2 business days of receiving notice, with failure to do so resulting in statutory damages of $200,000 to the plaintiff.

Mandates online services and websites available in California designate a public agent for reporting claimed violations and establish a method for users to report content erroneously removed as actionable material.

Requires operators of online services or websites to destroy actionable material once any related investigation is confirmed complete.

Sets statute of limitations at 6 years from discovery of infringement or 10 years from when the depicted person turns 18, whichever is longer.
