LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Kentucky lawmakers are moving to strengthen state laws involving child sexual exploitation.
The Kentucky House of Representatives approved House Bill 366 this week. The bill expands current law to include computer-generated images depicting the sexual exploitation of minors.
The bill would also require offenders to serve at least 85% of their sentence before becoming eligible for probation or parole.
House Bill 366 makes it a crime to knowingly possess or intentionally view sexual images of minors, while still protecting people who see them by accident or during legal or law enforcement work.
Supporters said the bill closes loopholes and ensures Kentucky law keeps pace with evolving digital threats against children.
After the third reading in the House, the bill passed 95-0, and now moves to the Senate. The full text of House Bill 366 is available online.
