This bill proposes the prohibition of nudification technology in Minnesota, specifically targeting the alteration or generation of images and videos to depict intimate parts of identifiable individuals without their consent. It establishes definitions for key terms such as "nudify," "intimate part," and "technical skill," and outlines the responsibilities of website and application owners. Under the new law, these entities are prohibited from allowing users to access or use their services for nudification purposes, as well as from nudifying images or videos on behalf of users. Additionally, advertising or promoting such services is also banned, with an exemption for cases requiring significant technical skill from the user.

The bill also provides for civil actions and penalties for violations. Individuals whose images or videos have been unlawfully nudified can seek compensatory and punitive damages, injunctive relief, and attorney fees in district court. The attorney general is empowered to enforce the law, with violators facing civil penalties of up to $500,000 for each violation. The collected penalties will be directed to the general fund and appropriated to support organizations that provide services to victims of crime, ensuring that funding addresses the needs of underserved communities. The law is set to take effect on August 1, 2026, and will apply to actions accruing after that date.
