HB 433

Present law provides that a person c ommits unlawful exposure who, with the intent to cause emotional distress, distributes an image of the intimate part or parts of another identifiable person or an image of an identifiable person engaged in sexually explicit conduct if the image was photogr aphed or recorded under circumstances where the parties agreed or understood that the image would remain private and the person depicted in the image suffers emotional distress. This bill revises the provision above by (i) removing the requirement that the person depicted in the image suffers emotional distress, and (ii) adding that such a violation can also occur if t he image of an identifiable person was created or modified by means of a computer software program, artificial intelligence application, or other digital editing tools.
