This bill amends the Uniform Civil Remedies for Unauthorized Disclosure of Intimate Images Act by redefining key terms and expanding the scope of liability for unauthorized disclosures. Notably, it includes provisions for images created through computer generation or digital manipulation, thereby broadening the definition of "depicted individual" to encompass those represented in such images. The bill also clarifies the meaning of "private" to include images created by these methods without the consent of the depicted individual, ensuring that individuals retain their rights over digitally manipulated representations of themselves.
Additionally, the bill establishes that a depicted individual who suffers harm from the intentional or threatened disclosure of an intimate image, which was created under circumstances of reasonable expectation of privacy, has a cause of action against the disclosing party. It emphasizes that consent to the creation of an image or previous consensual disclosures do not automatically imply consent for future disclosures. The original sections of the law are repealed to incorporate these updates, reflecting a commitment to protecting individuals from unauthorized use of their intimate images in all forms.
