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.
