AN ACT relating to malicious distribution of images without consent.

Summary

The bill makes it a crime to use a computer to distribute an image of a person without that person’s consent when the purpose is sexual arousal, degradation, or to invite abusive comments, and when the distribution would likely cause harm. It applies to anyone who uploads such images, but not to internet service providers or platforms that merely host content supplied by others. Convictions are misdemeanors and do not trigger sex‑offender registration.
