Creates new felony offenses for secretly recording, photographing, or viewing another person's body or undergarments without consent, or viewing private areas where individuals have reasonable expectation of privacy.

Removes obsolete provisions from Penal Code Section 647 subdivision (j) and (l) regarding second violations and minor victims of privacy invasion.

Establishes that cohabitant, landlord, tenant, employer, or business relationship status is not a defense to the new invasion of privacy felonies.

Specifies no state reimbursement is required to local agencies or school districts as this change involves penalty modifications for existing conduct.
