PROTECT Our Children Reauthorization Act of 2025

What this bill does

AI plain-language summary

This bill renews and updates two programs through 2028 that focus on preventing and fighting the sexual exploitation of children online. It changes how often the Department of Justice must update its national strategy for stopping child exploitation, moving from every two years to every four years, and simplifies the required parts of that strategy. The bill also updates the national network of task forces that help state and local police investigate online crimes against children, requiring them to do more to identify child victims and protecting them from certain lawsuits related to their work. It also requires the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children to share more information with law enforcement when reporting cases of online child exploitation.
