AB 1962 California Assembly · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Crimes: disorderly conduct.

Summary
Existing law defines specified behavior as disorderly conduct and prohibits that behavior. Under existing law, disorderly conduct includes, among other things, soliciting prostitution, prowling, peeping, surreptitious photographing or filming of an identifiable person, and the distribution of certain images of another person taken under circumstances in which the person understands that the image shall remain private, the distribution of which causes serious emotional distress. This bill would add to the definition of disorderly conduct the distribution of those images recorded, captured, or otherwise obtained by the person distributing the image without the authorization of the person depicted, as specified, or by the person distributing the image exceeding authorized access from the property, accounts, messages, files, or resources of the person depicted. Because the bill would expand the scope of a crime, it would establish a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason. This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 647 of the Penal Code proposed by AB 1874, SB 926, and SB 1414, to be operative only if this bill and some or all of those other bills are enacted and this bill is enacted last.
