What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law prohibits a person from photographing, videotaping, or otherwise
capturing an image of a nude person without the depicted person's consent. A person
who does so or who possesses, distributes, or exhibits the image, knowing the image
was without the depicted person's consent, is guilty of a Class I felony. Current law
generally excepts a parent, guardian, or legal custodian of a child who photographs,
videotapes, or otherwise captures an image of the child nude or who distributes or
exhibits an image of the child nude for noncommercial purposes. This bill limits the
exception so that it excludes a parent, guardian, or legal custodian of a child who
photographs, videotapes, or otherwise captures an image, or distributes or exhibits
an image, of the child nude for the purpose of sexual arousal, gratification,
humiliation, degradation, or monetary or commercial gain.
