This bill amends and reenacts R.S. 14:283.2(A)(2) and enacts R.S. 14:283.2(C)(5) to address the offense of nonconsensual disclosure of a private image in Louisiana. The amendment specifies that a person commits this offense if they disclose an image obtained through unauthorized access or under circumstances where a reasonable person would understand that the image was meant to remain private.

Additionally, the new legal language defines "unauthorized access" as the retrieval of an image from an individual's telecommunication device without that individual's permission. This clarification aims to strengthen the legal framework surrounding the protection of private images and enhance the accountability of individuals who engage in such nonconsensual disclosures.
