HB 138 Louisiana House · 2024 Regular Session

CRIME: Provides relative to the crime of nonconsensual disclosure of a private image (EN SEE FISC NOTE LF EX See Note)

This bill amends the existing law regarding the crime of nonconsensual disclosure of private images by modifying the specific language used to describe prohibited body parts. The changes remove the word "genitals" from the statute and replace it with a broader term that includes "or" to expand the scope of protected areas. These adjustments aim to clarify which private images are covered under the law without adding new criminal offenses or altering the fundamental penalties. The legislation is currently under review by the Committee on Administration of Criminal Justice and has not yet been enacted.
