AI Summary

This bill proposes to increase the maximum punishment 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 would allow for up to 5 years of imprisonment in the state prison, in addition to the existing maximum of 2.5 years in the house of correction. The bill also adds these crimes to the definition of "sex offenses" under state law, which has implications for sex offender registration and other legal consequences.
