An act relating to disclosure of a sexually explicit depiction without consent

This bill creates a new civil legal remedy for individuals whose nude or sexually explicit images are created or shared without their consent. It allows affected people to sue those responsible for distributing such material, with exceptions for law enforcement reporting, matters of legitimate public concern, and constitutionally protected speech. The law defines specific terms like "digitization" and "sexually explicit material" to clarify what is covered, requires consent agreements to be written in plain language, and sets a three-year statute of limitations for filing claims.
