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," "intimate image," and "disclosure," 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 clarifies that consent to the creation of an image does not imply consent for its disclosure.

Additionally, the bill provides for the recovery of damages, including economic and noneconomic damages, and allows for the exclusion or redaction of identifying information in legal documents to protect the privacy of the plaintiff. It establishes a statute of limitations of four years for bringing actions related to unauthorized disclosures and includes provisions for the potential tolling of this period for minors. The act is designed to align with existing federal laws and promote uniformity across states that adopt similar legislation, with an effective date set for November 1, 2026.
