Imposes additional penalties for invasion of privacy where victim is candidate for public office.

This bill makes it a crime to non-consensually share intimate images (including AI-generated deepfakes) of political candidates running for public office in New Jersey. It defines "intimate image" as photos or videos showing exposed intimate body parts or sexual acts, and "forged intimate image" as AI-altered images that falsely appear realistic. Violators face third-degree criminal charges with penalties of up to 5 years in prison or a $15,000 fine. Candidates can also pursue civil lawsuits for damages and legal fees without needing a prior criminal conviction, targeting election interference tactics like deepfakes. The law applies to all candidates for state, local, or school board offices.
