HB1204 strengthens South Dakota's laws against non-consensual intimate photography by clarifying that it's illegal to use cameras or recording devices to photograph or record someone's body or undergarments without their knowledge or consent, with intent to self-gratify, harass, or invade their privacy. The law makes this a Class 1 misdemeanor, but escalates it to a Class 6 felony if the victim is under 18 and the perpetrator is at least 21 years old.
