AI Summary

This bill aims to increase the penalties for the crimes of photographing, videotaping, or electronically surveilling nude or partially nude persons, or the sexual or intimate parts of a person under or around the person's clothing. Specifically, it amends the existing law to allow for imprisonment in the state prison for up to 5 years, in addition to the current penalty of up to 2.5 years in the house of correction. The bill also adds these crimes to the definition of "sex offense" under state law, which has implications for sex offender registration and other legal consequences.
