Nebraska Synthetic Explicit Content law summary

Specific rule in effect.

Based on direct statute tracking.

Based on Nebraska public records, it is a crime in Nebraska to create, possess, or distribute child sexual abuse material that is computer-generated or made with artificial intelligence — the law reaches a "computer-generated person" who would appear to a reasonable person to be a child, not only photographs of real events. This came through LB383, which folded in Sen. Hardin's LB172; Gov. Jim Pillen signed it on May 20, 2025, and it became operative September 3, 2025. The act renamed the Child Pornography Prevention Act to the Child Sexual Abuse Material Prevention Act and added a definition of "computer-generated" covering a visual depiction "created, adapted, or modified" by a computer, digital process, or artificial intelligence. As of July 2026 this rule is in effect; its focus is synthetic depictions of minors, and Nebraska's coverage of adult deepfake intimate images is less clearly established in the same terms.
