Project Safe Childhood Act
Summary
The Project Safe Childhood Act (H.R. 2661) aims to modernize and extend a Department of Justice program dedicated to combating child sexual exploitation and abuse.

For citizens, this legislation focuses on increasing public safety by requiring federal prosecutors to coordinate more closely with local police and establishing a national "Safer Internet Day" to raise awareness about online threats. It also authorizes funding for additional specialized prosecutors to handle these cases and ensures that legal definitions keep pace with evolving digital crimes.
