Summary

The bill makes it illegal to threaten to reveal a person’s nude or sexual image to force them to produce more images, engage in sex, or give something of value, and it criminalizes secretly photographing, filming, or sharing such images when the victim expects privacy. It also gives victims a civil right to sue without a statute of limitations and lengthens the criminal limitation period for voyeurism and image‑disclosure offenses. The law applies statewide, with specific exemptions for law‑enforcement and bona‑fide security work.
