Legislative history
Rebimbas attracted national attention when she introduced a bill that would lessen the penalty for "sexting" between two consenting minors. The bill would make it a Class A misdemeanor for children under 18 to send or receive text messages that include nude or sexual images. It is currently a felony for children to send such messages, and violators could end up on the state's sex offender registry. Rebimbas appeared on "Fox & Friends" and CNN to talk about the bill.[3]
