House Bill 166

From the 153rd General Assembly, this Act amends Title 11 by updating Delaware law by replacing the term “child pornography” with “child sexual abuse material” across Titles 11 and 16. This change aligns with national and international standards that better reflect the trauma and exploitation depicted in such content. The bill is supported by the Office of the Child Advocate, Delaware State Police, and the Department of Justice.
