S 3940 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Clarifies consent to being photographed, filmed, or recorded in a sexual manner does not include or imply consent to disclosure of image.

This bill clarifies that consent to being photographed, filmed, or recorded in a sexual context does not automatically allow sharing or disclosing that image. It requires separate, explicit consent for both taking the image and sharing it, preventing situations where someone might assume consent for sharing was given when only consent for taking the photo was provided. The law directly affects anyone who takes or shares intimate images without clear, separate permission for disclosure. It also specifies that consent for disclosure must be limited to the exact purpose it was given, such as sharing within a specific context.
