House Bill 433 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 39-17-318(a)(1), concerning unlawful images. The bill replaces the existing subdivision with new language that specifies two conditions under which an image may be considered unlawful: first, if the image was photographed or recorded under circumstances where the parties involved agreed or understood that the image would remain private; and second, if the image of an identifiable person was created or modified using computer software, artificial intelligence applications, or other digital editing tools.

The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, emphasizing the importance of protecting individuals' privacy in the context of both traditional and digitally manipulated images. This legislative change aims to address the evolving challenges posed by technology in the realm of personal privacy and image rights.
