SB 987

Under current law, it is generally a Class I felony to capture or distribute

representations depicting nudity without the consent of the person depicted. This

bill provides expands the depictions that are covered by the prohibition to include

“deep fakes,” which are computer-generated representations that appear to

authentically depict a person who did not in fact engage in the conduct depicted.

Under current law, it is a Class A misdemeanor to publish or post a private

representation, which is a sexually explicit representation intended to be possessed

or viewed only by the persons with whom it was directly shared, without consent of

the person depicted. This bill provides that it is also a Class A misdemeanor to

reproduce such representations.

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.
