Bill > SB2182

This bill, known as the Uniform Civil Remedies for Unauthorized Disclosure of Intimate Images Act, establishes a legal framework to allow individuals to sue for damages when their private intimate images are shared without their consent. An "intimate image" is defined as a photograph or recording showing private body parts or sexual conduct, and "private" means it was obtained with an expectation of privacy or through illicit means. The Act creates a "cause of action," which is the legal basis for a lawsuit, for individuals who suffer harm, including emotional distress, from the unauthorized disclosure of such images, provided the person disclosing the image knew or recklessly disregarded that the individual did not consent, the image was private, and the individual was identifiable. While there are exceptions for disclosures made in good faith for law enforcement, legal proceedings, or medical purposes, these exceptions do not apply if the disclosure is for sexual arousal, gratification, humiliation, degradation, or financial gain. The bill also allows for the redaction of identifying information in court documents to protect the privacy of those involved and sets a four-year statute of limitations for filing lawsuits, with provisions for minors.
