4948.045 of the statutes; relating to: representations depicting nude children
5and requiring sex offender registration for adults who commit the offense
6against a child who is under the age of 16.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, with exceptions, a person commits a Class I felony if he or
she does any of the following: 1) takes a photograph or makes a motion picture,
videotape, or other visual representation of a nude person without that person's
consent when that person has a reasonable expectation of privacy; 2) reproduces
such a photograph, motion picture, videotape, other visual representation; or 3)
possesses, distributes, or exhibits such a representation. In addition to the penalty
for the felony conviction, the court may order a person to register with the
Department of Corrections (DOC) as a sex offender if the court determines that the
underlying conduct was sexually motivated and that registration would be in the
interest of public protection. Under this bill, if a person who is at least 21 years of
age commits the felony and the victim has not attained the age of 16, the court must
order the person to register with DOC as a sex offender.

For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
