This bill amends the Uniform Civil Remedies for Unauthorized Disclosure of Intimate Images Act in Nebraska by redefining key terms and expanding the scope of liability for unauthorized disclosures. Notably, it includes provisions that recognize images created through computer generation or digital manipulation as intimate images, thereby broadening the definition of "depicted individual" to encompass these forms of imagery. Additionally, the bill clarifies that an image is considered "private" if it was created without the consent of the depicted individual, even if it was generated digitally.
The bill also emphasizes that consent must be affirmative and voluntary, and it establishes that a depicted individual retains a reasonable expectation of privacy regarding intimate images, regardless of the circumstances under which the image was created. The changes aim to enhance protections for individuals against the unauthorized disclosure of intimate images, ensuring that both traditional and digitally manipulated images are covered under the law. The original sections of the law are repealed to incorporate these updates.
