104TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY
State of Illinois
2025 and 2026
SB3192

Introduced 2/2/2026, by Sen. Sally J. Turner

SYNOPSIS AS INTRODUCED:

720 ILCS 5/11-20.1

Amends the Criminal Code of 2012 concerning child sexual abuse
material. Provides that if the creator of the images or materials is a
minor and the sole subject of the depiction, the minor is not subject to
criminal penalties under the statute. Deletes provision that the charge of
child sexual abuse material does not apply to the creator of a film, video,
photograph, or other similar visual image or depiction in which the
creator is the sole subject of the film, video, photograph, or other
similar visual image or depiction. Effective immediately.

A BILL FOR

SB3192
LRB104 19191 RLC 32636 b
1

AN ACT concerning criminal law.

2

Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3
represented in the General Assembly:

4

Section 5.
The Criminal Code of 2012 is amended by
5
changing Section 11-20.1 as follows:

6

(720 ILCS 5/11-20.1)
7

Sec. 11-20.1.
Child sexual abuse material.
8

(a) Recognizing the enormous negative societal impact that
9
sexually explicit visual depictions of children engaged in
10
sexual abuse activities have on the children who are abused,
11
and the overarching broader impact these materials and imagery
12
have at various levels to the public, especially when this
13
material is disseminated, we are changing all references in
14
Illinois statutes from "child pornography" to "child sexual
15
abuse material". It is important that the statutes of the
16
State of Illinois reflect the content and realities of these
17
materials as the sexual abuse and exploitation of children.
18
The word "pornography" implied legality involving "consent" of
19
which this imagery is not, as children can never "consent" to
20
sexual abuse and sexual exploitation. This name change is not
21
a change in meaning, definitions, statutes or application of
22
the laws of this State and all previous references to "child
23
pornography" are now encapsulated in "child sexual abuse

24

(a-5) The possession of each individual film, videotape,

26
by computer in violation of this Section constitutes a single

SB3192
- 6 -
LRB104 19191 RLC 32636 b
1
and separate violation. This subsection (a-5) does not apply
2
to multiple copies of the same film, videotape, photograph, or
3
other similar visual reproduction or depiction by computer
4
that are identical to each other.
5

(b)(1) It shall be an affirmative defense to a charge of
6
child sexual abuse material that the defendant reasonably
7
believed, under all of the circumstances, that the child was
8
18 years of age or older or that the person was not a person
9
with a severe or profound intellectual disability but only
10
where, prior to the act or acts giving rise to a prosecution
11
under this Section, he or she took some affirmative action or
12
made a bonafide inquiry designed to ascertain whether the
13
child was 18 years of age or older or that the person was not a
14
person with a severe or profound intellectual disability and
15
his or her reliance upon the information so obtained was
16
clearly reasonable.
17

(1.5) Telecommunications carriers, commercial mobile

including, but not limited to, Internet service providers and
20
hosting service providers, are not liable under this Section
21
by virtue of the transmission, storage, or caching of
22
electronic communications or messages of others or by virtue
23
of the provision of other related telecommunications,
24
commercial mobile services, or information services used by
25
others in violation of this Section.

(3) The charge of child sexual abuse material shall not
2
apply to the performance of official duties by law enforcement
3
or prosecuting officers or persons employed by law enforcement
4
or prosecuting agencies, court personnel or attorneys, nor to
5
bonafide treatment or professional education programs
6
conducted by licensed physicians, psychologists or social
7
workers. In any criminal proceeding, any property or material
8
that constitutes child sexual abuse material shall remain in
9
the care, custody, and control of either the State or the
10
court. A motion to view the evidence shall comply with
11
subsection (e-5) of this Section.

14
similar visual image or depiction in which the creator is the
15
sole subject of the film, video, photograph, or other similar
16
visual image or depiction.

17

(4) If the defendant possessed more than one of the same
18
film, videotape or visual reproduction or depiction by
19
computer in which child sexual abuse material is depicted,
20
then the trier of fact may infer that the defendant possessed
21
such materials with the intent to disseminate them.
22

(5) The charge of child sexual abuse material does not
23
apply to a person who does not voluntarily possess a film,
24
videotape, or visual reproduction or depiction by computer in
25
which child sexual abuse material is depicted. Possession is
26
voluntary if the defendant knowingly procures or receives a

solicited for, depicted in, or posed in any act of sexual

(iii) On September 22, 1998, the Third District
12

Appellate Court in People v. Dainty, 701 N.E. 2d 118,
13

ruled that Public Act 88-680 violates the single
14

subject clause of the Illinois Constitution (Article
15

IV, Section 8 (d)) and was unconstitutional in its
16

entirety. As of the time this amendatory Act of 1999
17

was prepared, People v. Dainty was still subject to
18

appeal.
19

(iv) Child sexual abuse material is a vital
20

concern to the people of this State and the validity of
21

future prosecutions under the child sexual abuse
22

material statute of the Criminal Code of 1961 is in
23

grave doubt.
24

(2) It is the purpose of this amendatory Act of 1999 to
25

prevent or minimize any problems relating to prosecutions
26

for child sexual abuse material that may result from

SB3192

LRB104 19191 RLC 32636 b
1

challenges to the constitutional validity of Public Act
2

88-680 by re-enacting the Section relating to child sexual
3

abuse material that was included in Public Act 88-680.
4

(3) This amendatory Act of 1999 re-enacts Section
5

11-20.1 of the Criminal Code of 1961, as it has been
6

amended. This re-enactment is intended to remove any
7

question as to the validity or content of that Section; it
8

is not intended to supersede any other Public Act that
9

amends the text of the Section as set forth in this
10

amendatory Act of 1999. The material is shown as existing
11

text (i.e., without underscoring) because, as of the time
12

this amendatory Act of 1999 was prepared, People v. Dainty
13

was subject to appeal to the Illinois Supreme Court.
14

(4) The re-enactment by this amendatory Act of 1999 of
15

Section 11-20.1 of the Criminal Code of 1961 relating to
16

child sexual abuse material that was amended by Public Act
17

88-680 is not intended, and shall not be construed, to
18

imply that Public Act 88-680 is invalid or to limit or
19

impair any legal argument concerning whether those
20

provisions were substantially re-enacted by other Public
21

Acts.
