Bill 119 s 962, also known as the "Child Exploitation Prevention Act," aims to make changes to title 18 of the United States Code in order to prevent providers of electronic communication services or remote computing services from receiving reimbursement or compensation for providing information related to child exploitation. The bill seeks to address the issue of individuals profiting from the exploitation of children by ensuring that those who provide information related to such crimes do not receive any financial gain.

In addition to prohibiting reimbursement or compensation for information related to child exploitation, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to preventing and combating child exploitation. These provisions are aimed at strengthening existing laws and regulations to better protect children from exploitation and abuse.
