Senate BillNo. 676


Introduced by Senator Cannella

February 27, 2015


An act to amend Sections 312.3, 502.01, and 647 of the Penal Code, relating to disorderly conduct.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

SB 676, as introduced, Cannella. Disorderly conduct: invasion of privacy.

Existing law provides that a person who photographs or records by any means the image of the intimate body part or parts of another identifiable person, under circumstances where the parties agree or understand that the image shall remain private, and the person subsequently distributes the image taken, with the intent to cause serious emotional distress, and the depicted person suffers serious emotional distress, is guilty of disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor. Existing law also includes other offenses involving invasion of privacy, including, for example, a person who looks through a hole or opening, into, or otherwise views, by means of any instrumentality, the interior of a bedroom, bathroom, changing room, fitting room, dressing room, or tanning booth, or the interior of any other area in which the occupant has a reasonable expectation of privacy, with the intent to invade the privacy of a person or persons inside.

This bill would provide that a person who intentionally distributes another person’s personal identifying information associated with an image of an intimate body part of that other person, as defined, without the consent of the other person, is guilty of disorderly conduct.

By expanding the definition of an existing crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

Under existing law, matter that depicts a person under 18 years of age personally engaging in or personally simulating sexual conduct, as defined, and that is in the possession of any city, county, city and county, or state official or agency is subject to forfeiture pursuant to a petition for forfeiture brought in the county in which the matter is located. Existing law provides for forfeiture by a defendant of illegal telecommunications equipment, or a computer, computer system, or computer network, and any software or data that was used in committing specified crimes, including depiction of a person under 18 years of age personally engaging in or personally simulating sexual conduct.

This bill would apply those provisions to the new provisions of disorderly conduct described above, and to the existing provisions of disorderly conduct related to invasion of privacy, as provided.

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.

Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: yes.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
