This bill amends New Jersey's lewdness statute to include the offense of electronically sending unsolicited nude images. It establishes that a person commits a disorderly persons offense if they knowingly transmit visual material depicting sexual conduct or intimate parts without the recipient's request or consent. Additionally, the bill specifies that exposing intimate parts, whether in person or via unsolicited electronic images, constitutes a fourth degree crime if the actor knows or reasonably expects that the material will be observed by a child under 13 years old or by an individual with a mental disease or defect who cannot comprehend the sexual nature of the conduct.

The bill defines "electronic means" to encompass various communication devices and clarifies that "lewd acts" include exposing genitals for sexual gratification through electronic means or in person. A disorderly persons offense carries a penalty of up to six months imprisonment and a $1,000 fine, while a fourth degree crime can result in up to 18 months imprisonment and a $10,000 fine. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
