Summary

The bill makes it illegal to disclose, transmit, or use any photograph or image of a dead person taken during a coroner or law‑enforcement investigation, unless it is for an official purpose or otherwise authorized by law. A standard violation is a Class B misdemeanor, and doing so for money, goods, services, or other gain upgrades the offense to a Class A misdemeanor. The rule applies to images captured on personal devices or agency equipment.
