This bill proposes to amend section 13-1425 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically addressing the definition of "image" and the expectations of privacy regarding such images. Under the current law, the definition of "image" includes photographs, videotapes, films, and digital recordings. The bill would update this definition to explicitly include "computer-generated pictorial representation" while removing the term "or" before "digital recording."

Additionally, the bill clarifies that, except for computer-generated pictorial representations, individuals depicted in images maintain a reasonable expectation of privacy. It emphasizes that merely sending an image via electronic device does not negate this expectation of privacy. This amendment aims to strengthen privacy protections in the context of sexual offenses.
