Establishes the class A misdemeanor of unlawful dissemination of a security body scan
Bill A 5336 establishes a new class A misdemeanor crime called "unlawful dissemination of a security body scan." This bill makes it illegal for a person to knowingly share a body scan, or any images from it, that was taken for legal security purposes without the permission of the individual who was scanned. The offense occurs if the scan is shared with someone not authorized to receive it by state or federal law. This measure aims to protect individuals by criminalizing the unauthorized distribution of these sensitive images.
