Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
6 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 1 costs, 2 mixed.
Money damages and stop-sharing orders
Beginning May 6, 2026, if you win your case, you can get money and court orders to stop sharing. You can recover the greater of your proven economic and emotional harm or up to $10,000 per defendant. You can also recover the defendant’s profits, punitive damages, and your attorney fees and costs. Courts can order takedowns and other injunctions. When setting statutory damages, courts look at the parties’ ages, number of disclosures or threats, and how widely the image spread.
You can sue over private images
Beginning May 6, 2026, you can sue if someone intentionally shares or threatens to share a private intimate image of you without your consent. You must be identifiable in the image, the image must be private, and the person must know you did not consent. The law defines “intimate image,” “consent,” “depicted individual,” “disclosure,” “identifiable,” and the sexual acts covered so people know what counts.
How courts apply this law
Beginning May 6, 2026, courts read this law in line with the federal Communications Decency Act. That can limit claims against online platforms. The law does not change government immunity. Courts also aim to interpret it like other states that adopt the same uniform law.
Privacy protections for victims in court
Beginning May 6, 2026, courts can keep your name and identifying details out of public filings. You must file a confidential form with the court listing your real name and details and serve it on the defendant. Courts can also issue extra protective orders to guard your identity.
You have four years to file
Beginning May 6, 2026, you must sue within four years. For a disclosure, the clock starts when you discover it or should have with reasonable diligence. For a threat, the clock starts on the day of the threat. Existing tolling rules still apply.
Who is not liable for sharing
Beginning May 6, 2026, some sharing is not liable. Good‑faith sharing for law enforcement, court cases, or medical care or teaching is not liable. Good‑faith reports or investigations of unlawful or unsolicited conduct, matters of public concern, or help reasonably meant to assist the person are also protected. Parents or guardians are not liable for a child’s image unless another law bans the sharing or it was for sexual arousal, humiliation, or money. Online services are not liable just for providing access, and being a public figure alone does not make a disclosure a public concern.
