Bill Summary
Relative to photographing, videotaping or electronically surveilling certain persons. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill aims to strengthen the law against "upskirting" - the act of secretly photographing, videotaping, or electronically surveilling another person who is nude or partially nude, or their sexual/intimate parts, even if clothed, with the intent to invade their privacy. The bill expands the definition of prohibited conduct, increases the penalties for violation, and provides additional protections for victims, such as limiting public access to visual evidence and allowing law enforcement to make warrantless arrests in certain cases. It also includes exceptions for merchants providing dressing room surveillance and for law enforcement acting within their authority.
