Current Bill Summary

SB 1354 - Under this act, a person commits the crime of invasion of privacy by knowingly photographing or filming another person when his or her full or partial nudity was not intended to be photographed or filmed and subsequently distributes the photo or film that allows access to that image via a computer without the written consent.

Under a current law, there is no requirement for written consent to allow access to an image via the computer and a person can only commit the crime of invasion of privacy if he or she knowingly photographs or films another without his or her consent while he or she is nude and in a place where one would have a reasonable expectation of privacy.

Under this act, a person commits the crime of invasion of privacy by knowingly videotaping or recording a person to secretly tape, film, or record by electronic means under or through the clothing worn by that other person in order to view his or her body or undergarments without his or her consent.

Invasion of privacy is a Class D felony unless the person has committed the crime before or there is more than one victim, in which case, it is a Class C felony.

A person is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor if he or she violates the provision regarding videotaping or recording another person under his or her clothes in order to view his or her body or undergarments.
