Bill > SB0310

This bill establishes the Uniform Civil Remedies for Unauthorized Disclosure of Intimate Images Act, creating a legal framework to address the non-consensual sharing of private intimate images. It defines key terms such as "intimate image" (which includes nudity or sexual conduct), "consent" (meaning affirmative and voluntary authorization), and "private" (images created with an expectation of privacy or obtained improperly). The bill grants individuals the right to sue if their identifiable intimate image, which was private and shared without their consent, causes them harm, including emotional distress. However, it provides exceptions for disclosures made in good faith for law enforcement, legal proceedings, medical treatment, reporting unlawful conduct, or when reasonably intended to assist the depicted individual, though these exceptions do not apply if the disclosure was for sexual arousal, gratification, humiliation, degradation, or financial gain. The bill also includes provisions to protect the privacy of plaintiffs in such lawsuits and outlines remedies for prevailing plaintiffs, including damages up to $10,000, recovery of the defendant's profits, attorney fees, and injunctive relief, with a four-year statute of limitations for filing a claim.
