SB 310 Utah Senate · 2026 General Session

Uniform Intimate Images Amendments

SB 310 proposes changes to laws regarding intimate image disclosure by limiting when people can be held liable for sharing or threatening to share such images. It creates two key exceptions: disclosure isn't liable if it's already illegal under other laws, or if done for sexual arousal, humiliation, degradation, or financial gain. The bill also clarifies that disclosing intimate images of public figures doesn't automatically become a "matter of public interest." This bill is currently pending in the House Judiciary Committee and would directly affect individuals who share intimate images, particularly concerning children and public figures.
