Bill > H0683

This bill, effective July 1, 2026, establishes a statewide prohibition against knowingly exposing one's pubic area, genitals, or buttocks in a public place without an opaque covering, defining "public place" broadly to include visibility from public spaces even when on private property like a front yard. Violators face potential imprisonment of up to six months or a fine of up to $500, or both, though exceptions exist for disrobing in designated areas like changing rooms. Importantly, the bill also grants municipalities the authority to create their own ordinances that either designate specific public areas where nudity is permitted or allow for the issuance of permits for events where nudity might occur.
