Summary
Revising Existing Procedures On Reporting via Technology Act or the REPORT Act This bill makes changes to the federal framework governing the reporting of crimes involving the online sexual exploitation of children. Specifically, the bill makes changes to the requirements for electronic communication service providers and remote computing service providers (providers) to submit reports to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) when they become aware of violations involving the online sexual exploitation of children. Among the changes, the bill increases the amount of time—from 90 days to 1 year—that a provider must preserve the contents of a report, requires (currently, authorizes) providers to report on a violation that may be planned or imminent, and extends the requirement for providers to report apparent violations involving the sexual exploitation of children to instances involving child sex trafficking or coercion or enticement of a minor to engage in prostitution or any other illegal sexual activity. Additionally, the bill increases the maximum fines for providers who knowingly and willfully fail to submit reports. Finally, the bill limits the liability of vendors that contract with NCMEC for claims arising from storing and transferring visual depictions of child sexual abuse material (i.e., child pornography). It also limits the liability of minors, or persons acting on behalf of minors, for reporting to NCMEC's CyberTipline apparent violations involving child sexual abuse material in which the child is depicted, including a copy of the visual depiction of the minor.
