TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas legislators have passed a bill creating new penalties for young people who transmit or possess nude images of children.

The votes Friday were 119-0 in the House and 40-0 in the Senate. Current law makes first-time sexual exploitation of a child under 18 a felony. The bill addresses a gray zone in the law in which adolescents are either tried as adults or receive no punishment.
