This bill proposes several updates to current statutes regarding the unlawful disclosure of images depicting individuals in states of nudity or sexual activity. Notably, it stipulates that if such an image is a computer-generated pictorial representation, the depicted person does not need to have a reasonable expectation of privacy for the nonconsensual disclosure to be deemed unlawful. This change is significant as it clarifies the legal standing of computer-generated images in relation to privacy expectations, which is a departure from the current law that requires a reasonable expectation of privacy for all images.

Additionally, the bill introduces a definition for "computer-generated pictorial representation," specifying that it refers to images that appear to be actual images of identifiable persons but are created or modified using digital tools, with exceptions for images made in the public interest. The bill also modifies the definition of "image" to include computer-generated representations and makes various technical changes to existing definitions and provisions. Overall, these updates aim to enhance the legal framework surrounding the disclosure of such images, particularly in the context of digital technology.
