What’s in it

Under current law, to be guilty of invasion of privacy, a person must knowingly view, photograph, or film another person for the purpose of arousing or gratifying the sexual desire of any person, if the other person does not consent or is unable to consent to being viewed, photographed, or filmed; the other person is in a state of full or partial nudity; and the other person has a reasonable expectation of privacy while in a state of full or partial nudity. This bill eliminates the requirement that the person act for the purpose of arousing or gratifying the sexual desire of any person.

Read the full explanation

A person found guilty of invasion of privacy is, upon conviction, guilty of an aggravated misdemeanor. An aggravated misdemeanor is punishable by confinement for no more than two years and a fine of at least $625 but not more than $6,250. A person convicted under the bill is classified as a tier II sex offender for the purposes of the sex offender registry.

Fiscal note

Cost: up to $8,000 Compare with other bills

The fiscal impact of SF 2286 cannot be estimated due to the unknown correctional impact. The average State cost for an aggravated misdemeanor ranges from $5,600 to $8,000. This estimate includes operating costs incurred by the Judicial Branch, the State Public Defender, and the Department of Corrections (DOC) for one conviction.
