Creates the offense of and civil penalties for disclosure of intimate digital depictions
HB 1913 creates a civil cause of action for individuals whose intimate digital depictions are disclosed without consent. It directly affects people whose realistic digital images - showing private body parts, sexual conduct, or bodily fluids - were created or altered using digital manipulation, especially if shared by the creator who knew consent was lacking. Key provisions require explicit written consent for disclosure (not just creation), allow recovery of actual damages, $150,000 in liquidated damages, or punitive damages, and enable court orders to stop disclosure or maintain anonymity. The law excludes disclosures made by law enforcement, in legal proceedings, or for public interest, and clarifies tech providers aren’t liable for such content.
