Plain-English Summary

Section 25-3501 assigns a name to the group of statutes that follow it. Sections 25-3501 through 25-3508 make up the Uniform Civil Remedies for Unauthorized Disclosure of Intimate Images Act, a model law Nebraska adopted to give a depicted individual a civil remedy when someone discloses, or threatens to disclose, an intimate image without consent. Being a uniform act means Nebraska’s version tracks language used by other states that adopted the same model, which section 25-3508 later addresses directly by directing courts to weigh the value of consistent interpretation across those states.

The act’s substantive core — who can sue, what a plaintiff has to prove, what defenses apply, and what a court can award — appears in the sections that follow this one, not here. Section 25-3509, which addresses a plaintiff’s ability to proceed under a pseudonym, falls outside the numbered range this section names, yet it cross-references this section’s title, since it operates as part of the same act even though it was added afterward.

Frequently Asked Questions

What sections make up the Uniform Civil Remedies for Unauthorized Disclosure of Intimate Images Act?

Sections 25-3501 through 25-3508, as named by this section. Section 25-3509 also operates as part of the act and cross-references this section, even though it falls outside that numbered range.

Does this section create the civil cause of action itself?

No. This section only assigns the act’s short title. The cause of action appears in section 25-3503, with definitions in section 25-3502 and defenses in section 25-3504.

What does it mean that this is a “uniform” act?

Nebraska adopted a model law also enacted by other states, using shared language and structure, which is why section 25-3508 directs courts to consider uniformity of interpretation when applying it.

Where is the actual right to sue over an unauthorized image disclosure defined?

In section 25-3503, which sets out the elements a depicted individual must show to bring a claim.

Why does section 25-3509 reference this section even though it is numbered outside 3501 to 3508?

Section 25-3509 was added to the act after the original numbered range was set, and it cross-references this section to identify itself as part of the same act by name.
