IL HB1590

Creates the Civil Liability for Unsolicited Intimate Images Act, establishing civil liability for adults who knowingly transmit obscene material electronically to another adult without consent

Recipients can recover actual damages or $500 (whichever is greater), plus reasonable attorney's fees and costs; courts may also issue injunctions preventing further violations

"Obscene material" includes images depicting sexual acts or exposed genitals/anus that appeal to prurient interest, depict sexual conduct in a patently offensive way, and lack serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value

Exempts Internet service providers, mobile data providers, app operators (when merely transmitting communications), subscription/on-demand services, health care providers transmitting for medical purposes, and commercial email

Lawsuits may be filed in the jurisdiction where the material was transmitted from or where it was received by the plaintiff
