It defines "computer generated image" as a type of "intimate image" for the purposes of civil and criminal laws involving nonconsensual pornography. It also expands the definition of "peep" in the state's voyeurism statute to include using a concealed camera to capture an intimate image. Additionally, the bill provides exemptions from the criminal distribution of intimate images law for certain news media, internet service providers, and cloud storage providers under certain circumstances.
