SB 1462 Summary

• Amends Arizona Revised Statutes section 13-1425 to criminalize intentional disclosure of images depicting nudity or sexual activities when the person has reasonable expectation of privacy and disclosure is intended to harm, harass, intimidate, threaten, or coerce.

• Excludes from coverage "realistic pictorial representations" (computer-generated or modified images appearing to show actual nudity or sexual activities) unless created or modified by the depicted person themselves.

• Establishes tiered penalties: Class 5 felony for basic violations, Class 4 felony if disclosed by electronic means, and Class 1 misdemeanor for threats to disclose or realistic pictorial representations.

• Clarifies that sending an image to another person via electronic device does not automatically remove reasonable expectation of privacy for that image.

• Provides exceptions for reporting unlawful conduct, law enforcement activities, legal proceedings, medical treatment, and public/commercial settings, plus interactive computer services not responsible for third-party content.
