South Dakota is poised to update its laws against child sexual abuse images to include those created by artificial intelligence, under a bill headed to Republican Gov. Kristi Noem<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The bill, which is a combined effort by Republican Attorney General Marty Jackley and lawmakers, also includes deepfakes, which are images or videos manipulated to look like a real person.<\/p>\n

In an interview, Jackley said some state and local investigations have required federal prosecution because South Dakota’s laws aren’t geared toward AI.<\/p>\n

The bill includes mandatory, minimum prison sentences of one, five and 10 years for first-time offenses of possession, distribution and manufacturing, respectively.<\/p>\n

The GOP-held House of Representatives passed the bill with others in a 64-1 vote on Monday. The Republican-supermajority Senate previously passed the bill unanimously.<\/p>\n

Another bill on Jackley’s legislative agenda also is headed to Noem, to make the animal sedative xylazine a controlled substance.<\/p>\n

Last year the Office of National Drug Control Policy designated the combination of xylazine and deadly fentanyl as an ” emerging threat.” Jackley has said xylazine has “become a national epidemic” and has appeared in South Dakota<\/a>, mainly in Sioux Falls.<\/p>\n

Xylazine can cause health problems in humans, including difficulty breathing, dangerously low blood pressure, a slowed heart rate, wounds that can become infected and even death, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.<\/p>\n

The bill, which allows xylazine for veterinary use, would create penalties of up to two years in prison and\/or a $4,000 fine for possession and use of xylazine.<\/p>\n

The Senate passed the bill unanimously on Monday, after the House did the same last month. The South Dakota Health Department and Jackley brought the bill.<\/p>\n

Noem highlighted the xylazine issue in her State of the State<\/a> address last month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
