CONSENT Act

This bill creates a civil right for individuals aged 18+ (or their legal guardians for minors, incapacitated, or incompetent individuals) to sue senders who knowingly share non-consensual explicit images or videos via interstate commerce. It defines "consent" using existing law, includes machine-manipulated media (like deepfakes) under "visual depiction," and allows for fixed monetary damages up to $500, attorney fees, or injunctions. Key exclusions prevent liability for third-party platforms (like social media) and cover medical/educational sharing. The law does not affect existing criminal penalties for such acts.
