Bill > AB1962

This bill amends Section 647 of the Penal Code, which defines disorderly conduct as a misdemeanor. The key provisions of this bill include: 1. Adding the distribution of certain private images without authorization or by exceeding authorized access to the definition of disorderly conduct. 2. Providing enhanced penalties, including imprisonment and fines, for repeat violations of the law related to invading privacy through recording or distributing private images, especially when the victim is a minor. 3. Specifying that the bill does not require reimbursement of local agencies or school districts for any costs associated with the new crime created by the bill. 4. Incorporating changes to Section 647 proposed by other bills, with the specific sections to become operative depending on which other bills are enacted and the order of enactment. In summary, this bill aims to expand the definition of disorderly conduct to include the unauthorized recording and distribution of private images, with harsher penalties for repeat offenses and when minors are victimized.
