The bill amends existing laws regarding the offense of video voyeurism by extending the statute of limitations for prosecution and making orders of protection available to victims. Specifically, it allows for prosecution of video voyeurism within one year after the offense is discovered by the victim. Additionally, it clarifies that being in a romantic relationship with the victim does not serve as a defense against prosecution for video voyeurism.

Furthermore, the definition of "domestic abuse" is expanded to include acts of video voyeurism, thereby providing additional legal protections for victims. The bill modifies the statute of limitations to include video voyeurism as an offense that can be prosecuted within one year of discovery, and it adds a provision that explicitly states that a romantic relationship does not exempt an offender from prosecution.
