On Wednesday, Governor Mike Braun signed new legislation into law that will protect Indiana children.
The law increases penalties for child exploitation from a Level 5 to a Level 4 felony.
It also raises “possession of child sexual abuse material” to a Level 4 felony.
It was authored by Evansville’s State Representative, Wendy McNamara.
The new law also adds “high-risk missing persons” to Indiana’s Silver Alert system, raising awareness across the state to help find missing children in danger.
