# Summary
This legislation establishes a new Office to Enforce and Protect Against Child Sexual Exploitation within the Department of Justice, headed by a Director appointed by the Attorney General. The Director will coordinate federal efforts across multiple agencies to prevent, investigate, and prosecute child sexual exploitation crimes, and must submit an enforcement strategy to Congress within 180 days of appointment and annual reports thereafter. The bill creates a five-billion-dollar Child Sexual Exploitation Treatment, Support, and Prevention Fund for fiscal years 2024 through 2033, with mandatory allocations for federal prosecutors, the FBI, and grants to organizations like the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, Internet Crimes Against Children Task Forces, and local children's advocacy centers. The legislation also modernizes the CyberTipline reporting system by extending evidence preservation requirements from 90 to 180 days, allowing nonprofit organizations to access technical identifiers to combat child exploitation, and improving how companies report suspected violations to law enforcement. The changes affect federal law enforcement agencies, state and local governments, nonprofit organizations, schools, and mental health providers involved in treating victims and preventing exploitation.
