The bill amends existing laws regarding the offense of video voyeurism in Arkansas. It extends the statute of limitations for prosecuting video voyeurism to one year after the offense is discovered or should reasonably have been 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 bill expands the definition of "domestic abuse" to include acts of video voyeurism, thereby allowing victims of such offenses to seek orders of protection. This change aims to provide greater legal recourse for victims and enhance protections against invasive behaviors that violate personal privacy.
