Senate Bill No. 2182 introduces the Uniform Civil Remedies for Unauthorized Disclosure of Intimate Images Act, which establishes legal recourse for individuals whose intimate images are disclosed without their consent. The bill defines key terms such as "consent," "depicted individual," and "intimate image," and outlines the conditions under which a cause of action can be initiated. It specifies that prior consent does not automatically apply to subsequent disclosures and emphasizes the expectation of privacy for depicted individuals, even in public settings. The bill also delineates the burden of proof for defendants and provides exemptions for parents or guardians under certain conditions.

Additionally, the bill allows for the recovery of damages, including economic and non-economic damages, attorney fees, and other relief for prevailing plaintiffs. It sets a statute of limitations of four years for actions related to unauthorized disclosures and includes provisions for protecting the identity of plaintiffs in court proceedings. The act is designed to align with existing laws, such as the Communications Decency Act, and aims to promote uniformity across states that adopt similar legislation. The effective date for this act is set for November 1, 2026.
