MS SB2391

Creates a civil cause of action for individuals whose private intimate images are disclosed without consent, allowing them to sue the person responsible if the individual is identifiable and the person knew or acted with reckless disregard regarding lack of consent, privacy status, or identifiability.

Defines "intimate image" as photographs, films, or videos showing uncovered genitals, pubic area, anus, female post-pubescent nipples, or sexual conduct.

Provides exceptions from liability for disclosures made in good faith to law enforcement, legal proceedings, or medical contexts; for reporting unlawful conduct; for matters of public concern; or for assisting the depicted individual.

Allows prevailing plaintiffs to recover the greater of actual damages or statutory damages up to $10,000, plus any monetary gains made by the defendant, punitive damages, and reasonable attorney's fees.

Establishes a statute of limitations of three years from discovery for unauthorized disclosures and four years for threats to disclose; permits courts to protect plaintiff privacy by excluding identifying information from court filings.
