The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 617.23, by adding a new subdivision that clarifies the legal interpretation of indecent exposure. Specifically, it states that the exposure of a human breast alone does not qualify as lewd exposure, gross lewdness, or lascivious behavior. This change aims to redefine what constitutes indecent exposure in the context of public safety.
Additionally, the bill includes an effective date for this new provision, stating that it will come into effect on July 1, 2026. This timeline allows for a transition period before the new legal standard is enforced.
