Summary

The bill defines a “digital sexual image” as an AI‑generated or edited picture or video that shows sexual activity or exposed body parts and appears to depict a real person. It makes it a misdemeanor to create or possess such an image without the depicted person’s consent, and a misdemeanor to distribute it, with penalties rising to felonies for repeat offenders. Exemptions are included for news outlets, cloud services, internet providers and similar entities when they share content for lawful reporting or under a court order.
