What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, with exceptions, a person commits a Class I felony if he or she does any of the following: 1) takes a photograph or makes a motion picture, videotape, or other visual representation of a nude person without that person's consent when that person has a reasonable expectation of privacy; 2) reproduces such a photograph, motion picture, videotape, other visual representation; or 3) possesses, distributes, or exhibits such a representation. In addition to the penalty for the felony conviction, the court may order a person to register with the Department of Corrections (DOC) as a sex offender if the court determines that the underlying conduct was sexually motivated and that registration would be in the interest of public protection. Under this bill, if a person who is at least 21 years of age commits the felony and the victim has not attained the age of 16, the court must order the person to register with DOC as a sex offender.
