What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law prohibits a person from publicly and indecently exposing genitals

or pubic area. A person who violates the prohibition is guilty of a Class A

misdemeanor. This bill eliminates the element that the exposure be indecent and

instead requires that the exposure be intentional.

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.
