Private image; create criminal offense for creation, recording or alteration of without consent of depicted individual.
HB 1115 would criminalize creating, recording, or altering intimate visual material (like photos or videos showing someone's genitals, buttocks, or engaged in sexual conduct) without their consent. It directly affects individuals who produce or share such content without permission, making it a misdemeanor for a first offense (up to 6 months jail or $1,000 fine) and a felony for repeat offenses or if done for profit. The bill expands protections to include edited or manipulated images and explicitly exempts tech companies from liability for their platforms. The bill died in committee on February 3, 2026, and was never enacted.
