FL H0331

Expands the definition of "child pornography" in Florida law to include visual depictions that have been created, adapted, or modified to appear that a minor is engaging in sexual conduct, not just actual depictions of minors.

Eliminates the requirement to prove the identity of a minor depicted in child pornography materials in order to establish a violation.

Defines "minor" as a person under 18 years old whose image is recognizable by facial features, likeness, or other distinguishing characteristics, including cases where a minor's image was used to create or modify the depiction.

Establishes specific penalties: possession with intent to promote child pornography is a second-degree felony; knowing possession of child pornography is a third-degree felony.

Updates the Criminal Punishment Code offense severity ranking chart to include the expanded child pornography offenses and makes conforming changes to mandatory sentencing provisions for dangerous sexual felony offenders.
