House Bill 1804 amends the Penal Code to add to the conduct that constitutes the offense of improper photography or visual recording (1) broadcasting or transmitting a visual image of another at a location other than a bathroom or private dressing room without the other person's consent and with the intent to arouse or gratify the sexual desire of another, (2) photographing, videotaping, broadcasting, or transmitting a visual image of another at a location that is a bathroom or private dressing room without the other person's consent and with the intent to invade the privacy of the other person or arouse or gratify the sexual desire of another, and (3) promoting the broadcast or transmission of certain visual images with knowledge of the character and content of the broadcast or transmission.
The bill specifies that signage indicating that the person is being photographed or that a visual image of the person is being recorded, broadcast, or transmitted is not sufficient to establish the person's consent.
