SB41

The amendment restructured the bill's criminal invasions of privacy statute by reorganizing three separate prohibited acts into a clearer format, adding a new definition section for key terms like "digitally fabricated material" and "identifiable," and upgraded the penalty for deepfake distribution to a Class 5 felony while maintaining Class 1 misdemeanor and Class 6 felony penalties for non-consensual photography and disclosure. These changes STRENGTHEN the bill's enforcement against deepfakes by creating explicit statutory definitions and establishing more severe consequences for their creation and distribution.

The amendment restructures the criminal invasion of privacy statute by consolidating and clarifying the three prohibited acts—voyeurism, distribution of voyeuristic material, and deepfakes—while adjusting penalties so that voyeurism and distribution violations are Class 1 misdemeanors (Class 6 felonies for repeat or child victims), and deepfake creation/distribution is a Class 5 felony. This STRENGTHENS the bill's enforcement against nonconsensual intimate imagery by creating clearer distinctions between offense types and establishing proportionate felony penalties for digitally fabricated material.
