The proposed bill establishes the Uniform Civil Remedies for Unauthorized Disclosure of Intimate Images Act in Oklahoma, which aims to provide legal recourse for individuals whose intimate images are disclosed without their consent. The bill defines key terms such as "intimate image," "disclosure," and "consent," and outlines the conditions under which a depicted individual can bring a cause of action against a person who intentionally discloses or threatens to disclose their intimate image. It also specifies exceptions to liability, particularly in cases involving law enforcement, legal proceedings, or medical treatment, and emphasizes that consent to the creation of an image does not imply consent for its disclosure.
Additionally, the bill allows for the recovery of damages, including economic and noneconomic damages, and sets a statute of limitations of four years for bringing actions related to unauthorized disclosures. It includes provisions for protecting the identity of plaintiffs in such cases and ensures that the act aligns with existing laws, such as the Communications Decency Act. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2026, and aims to promote uniformity in the law across states that adopt similar measures.
