SAIPAN — During the April 7, 2026 special session of the Commonwealth Senate, Vice President Senator Karina Magofna formally introduced a bill to criminalize the creation and distribution of artificial intelligence–generated sexually explicit images or videos of minors.
Senator Karina Magofna said the bill is designed "to protect students from digital sexual exploitation, to provide enforcement authority to schools and law enforcement, and for other purposes." She noted the measure was co-sponsored by several senators. The introduction occurred under the agenda item for introduction of bills and resolutions; the transcript records the bill language but no committee referral, debate, or vote in the same session.
The transcript does not specify penalty levels, definitions, or procedural next steps such as committee assignment or fiscal notes. No public testimony or floor debate addressing the bill’s substantive provisions was recorded during this session.
The Senate moved on to other business after the introductions; the record shows the chamber later adopted committee reports, passed two House bills, and adjourned at 11:48 a.m.
