Summary

The bill requires the California Department of Justice to operate a secure portal where victims can request removal of nonconsensual intimate images. Verified image identifiers are sent to covered online platforms, which must delete matching content within 48 hours and block re‑uploads. Civil penalties are imposed on platforms that fail to comply, and peace officers must inform victims of the clearinghouse during investigations.
