Nudification technology access prohibited.
HF 1895 prohibits websites, apps, software, or programs from allowing users to access, download, or use "nudification technology" - defined as altering images or videos to reveal intimate parts or make them appear realistic enough to suggest such depiction of an identifiable person. The bill directly affects platform operators and users who might employ this technology, protecting individuals whose images could be misused. Key provisions ban such access, allow victims to sue for up to three times actual damages plus attorney fees, and impose civil penalties of at least $500,000 per violation. The law takes effect August 1, 2025, applying to incidents occurring on or after that date.
