This bill amends New Jersey's invasion of privacy statute, specifically N.J.S.A.2C:14-9, to clarify that an individual's consent to being photographed, filmed, or recorded in a sexual manner does not imply consent for the subsequent disclosure of that image. The new legal language explicitly states that consent to being photographed or recorded is separate from consent to disclose such images, and that any consent given for disclosure is strictly limited to the specific purpose for which it was obtained. This change aims to protect individuals from having their intimate images shared without their explicit permission.

Additionally, the bill outlines the penalties for violations related to the unauthorized disclosure of intimate images and establishes that consent must be obtained for both the act of capturing the image and for any potential disclosure. It also provides specific conditions under which the disclosure of such images may be permissible, such as to law enforcement or in legal proceedings. Overall, the bill seeks to strengthen privacy protections and ensure that individuals maintain control over their intimate images.
