Bill > SB1506

This bill establishes criminal and civil penalties for creating, distributing, or possessing with intent to distribute "altered sexual depictions" of identifiable individuals without their consent. An "altered sexual depiction" is defined as any visual representation, such as a photo or video, that has been digitally or otherwise modified to show an identifiable person's nude body parts or engaging in sexual conduct they did not actually participate in. The bill makes generating, soliciting, or promoting such depictions a class C felony, and allows victims to sue for injunctive relief, monetary damages of at least $10,000 or actual damages, and attorney's fees. Additionally, "covered platforms," which are websites or applications primarily offering user-generated content or regularly publishing nonconsensual altered sexual depictions, must establish a process for individuals to report and request the removal of such content within 48 hours, with failure to comply being treated as an unfair practice. Certain entities, like information and telecommunications services, law enforcement officers, and those reporting unlawful activity, are exempt from these provisions.
