HB2561 Summary

• Amends Arizona law to prohibit intentionally disclosing images of another person in a state of nudity or engaged in specific sexual activities without consent, commonly known as "revenge porn" legislation.

• Requires three conditions for prosecution: the person must be depicted in nudity or sexual activity, have a reasonable expectation of privacy, and the disclosure must be intended to harm, harass, intimidate, threaten, or coerce the depicted person.

• Establishes that sending an image to another person via electronic device does not automatically remove the sender's reasonable expectation of privacy in that image.

• Creates exemptions for lawful law enforcement reporting, legal proceedings, medical treatment, public/commercial voluntary exposure, and consented disclosures.

• Makes violations a class 5 felony, elevated to class 4 felony if the image is disclosed by electronic means; threatening to disclose such an image is a class 1 misdemeanor.
