SB 4

Under current law, the crime of invasion of privacy is a Class A misdemeanor.

The crime includes actions such as knowingly installing a surveillance device in a

private place with the intent to observe an individual who has less than fully and

opaquely covered genitals, pubic area, buttocks, or breasts without the individual's

consent. This bill creates an additional crime of invasion of privacy for an individual

who knowingly installs or uses a device to intentionally view under outer clothing

another individual's genitals, pubic area, breast, or buttocks, including genitals,

pubic area, breasts, or buttocks that are covered by undergarments, or to view

another body part of an individual that is not otherwise visible, without that

individual's consent. Under the bill, whoever commits this offense is guilty of a Class

I felony.

Because this bill creates a new crime or revises a penalty for an existing crime,

the Joint Review Committee on Criminal Penalties may be requested to prepare a

report concerning the proposed penalty and the costs or savings that are likely to

result if the bill is enacted.
