An act relating to prohibiting surveillance devices on private property without consent of the property owner

This bill would make it a civil offense to place surveillance devices on private property without the owner's consent. It directly affects individuals who install cameras or recording equipment on private land and property owners seeking to protect their privacy. The key provision requires obtaining permission from the property owner before deploying any surveillance equipment, establishing clear boundaries for where such devices can be used. This change aims to prevent unauthorized monitoring while maintaining existing criminal penalties for more serious violations. The legislation focuses on civil liability rather than criminal prosecution for this specific violation.
