Summary

The bill makes it illegal to threaten to reveal a person's nude or sexual images to force them to produce more images, engage in sexual activity, or give something of value. It also lengthens the time victims have to bring criminal charges for voyeurism and non‑consensual image disclosure, and removes any time limit for civil lawsuits when such disclosure causes harm. The law targets anyone who records or shares intimate images without consent, with limited exemptions for law enforcement and certain security personnel.
