This bill proposes several updates to current statutes regarding the unlawful disclosure of images depicting individuals in states of nudity or sexual activity. Under the new provisions, if an image is a realistic pictorial representation, the depicted individual does not need to have a reasonable expectation of privacy for the nonconsensual disclosure to be deemed unlawful, unless the image was created or modified by the individual themselves. Additionally, the bill reclassifies the unlawful disclosure of such images from a class 5 felony to a class 1 misdemeanor if the image is a realistic pictorial representation that did not actually occur.

The bill also introduces a definition for "realistic pictorial representation," which refers to images that appear to be actual representations of identifiable individuals in states of nudity or engaged in specific sexual activities that did not occur. It modifies the existing definition of "image" to include realistic pictorial representations and clarifies that certain exceptions to the reasonable expectation of privacy do not apply if the image was created or modified by the depicted person. Furthermore, it makes technical changes to the language of the statute, including the addition of "cable service" to the definition of services related to content provided by another party.
