CT SB01439

Expands the definition of "child sexual abuse material" to include visual depictions where the subject "appears indistinguishable from a person under sixteen years of age," addressing AI-generated and computer-generated imagery

Defines "indistinguishable" as meaning an ordinary person viewing the depiction would conclude the subject is an actual person under 16 engaging in sexually explicit conduct

Explicitly excludes drawings, cartoons, sculptures, and paintings from the "indistinguishable" standard, limiting coverage to realistic visual depictions

Adds detailed definitions of "sexually explicit conduct" and "visual depiction" (including undeveloped film, videotape, and encrypted data) to Connecticut's obscenity statutes

Effective October 1, 2025, amending Section 53a-193 of the general statutes
