Bill Summary
concerning civil law.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Civil Remedies for Nonconsensual Dissemination of Private Sexual Images Act in Illinois. The key provisions include:
1. Expanding the definition of "sexual image" to include not only images that show a person's private body parts or sexual activity, but also those that "falsely appear to show" such content. This targets the creation and distribution of digitally altered or "deepfake" sexual images without consent.
2. Allowing individuals to bring a civil lawsuit if their identifiable private sexual image, including a digitally altered one, is intentionally shared without their consent and causes them harm. The bill clarifies that consent to creating the original image or previous consensual disclosure does not automatically mean the person consented to its nonconsensual sharing.
3. Providing exceptions to liability, such as for law enforcement, legal proceedings, medical education, or reporting unlawful conduct, but specifying that being a public figure or including a political message does not make the image a matter of public concern.
4. Allowing courts to award damages, including statutory damages up to $10,000 per defendant, as well as equitable relief such as injunctions ordering the removal of the shared image.
