HR 1274

This bill, the PROTECT Our Children Reauthorization Act of 2025, aims to update and strengthen the federal government’s efforts to combat child exploitation, particularly online. It reauthorizes key programs like the National Strategy for Child Exploitation Prevention and Interdiction and the National Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force Program. The bill modifies the National Strategy to require more frequent updates and a revised set of core elements, while also enhancing the ICAC Task Force Program's investigative capacity and providing legal protections for those involved. Finally, it supports the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children’s efforts to provide law enforcement with critical information.
