This bill changes several criminal laws related to offenses against children and vulnerable adults. It expands the definitions of certain sex crimes to include more child victims and makes it easier to prosecute transmitting obscene material to a child, even with undercover agents. The bill also defines "sex offense" to include voyeurism, creates a new crime for sexual misconduct by staff in inpatient facilities, and allows certified facility dogs to be used more broadly in court to support witnesses.
