The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 617.23, by adding a new subdivision that clarifies the legal interpretation of indecent exposure. Specifically, it establishes that the exposure of a human breast alone does not qualify as lewd exposure, gross lewdness, or lascivious behavior. This change aims to redefine public safety standards regarding nudity and indecent exposure laws.

Additionally, the bill includes an effective date, stating that the new provisions will come into effect on July 1, 2024. This timeline allows for public awareness and potential adjustments to law enforcement practices in light of the new legal definitions.
