In one sentenceSection 1124 exempts certain disclosures from liability under the new Act — good-faith reports to law enforcement, matters of public concern, and most parental disclosures of a child's image — and shields infrastructure providers who lack actual knowledge of a violation, once the law takes effect November 1, 2026.
Full Text of § 1124
B. A person shall not be liable under this act if the person proves that disclosure of, or a threat to disclose, an intimate image was:
1. Made in good faith:
a. to law enforcement,
b. in a legal proceeding, or
c. during medical education or treatment;
2. Made in good faith in the reporting or investigation of:
a. unlawful conduct, or
b. unsolicited and unwelcome conduct;
3. Related to a matter of public concern or public interest; or
4. Reasonably intended to assist the depicted individual.
C. Subject to subsection D of this section, a defendant who is a parent, legal guardian, or individual with legal custody of a child shall not be liable under this act for a disclosure or threatened disclosure of an intimate image of the child.
D. If a defendant asserts an exception to liability under subsection C of this section, the exception shall not apply if the plaintiff proves the disclosure was:
1. Prohibited by law; or
2. Made for the purpose of sexual arousal, sexual gratification, humiliation, degradation, or monetary or commercial gain.
E. Disclosure of, or a threat to disclose, an intimate image shall not be a matter of public concern or public interest solely because the depicted individual is a public figure.
F. A provider of cloud computing, data storage, web hosting, or other infrastructure services shall not be liable under this act solely by reason of providing such services to a person who discloses or threatens to disclose an intimate image, provided that the provider:
1. Does not have actual knowledge that the specific content constitutes an intimate image disclosed without consent under this act; or
2. Upon obtaining actual knowledge of such content, acts expeditiously to remove or disable access to the content.

Plain-English Summary
Not every disclosure of an intimate image triggers liability under the new Act. A person escapes liability by proving the disclosure was made in good faith to law enforcement, in a legal proceeding, or during medical treatment or education; made in good faith while reporting or investigating unlawful or unwelcome conduct; tied to a matter of public concern or interest; or reasonably intended to help the depicted individual. Being a public figure, by itself, doesn't turn a disclosure into a matter of public concern.
A parent, legal guardian, or individual with legal custody of a “child” — defined as an unemancipated person under eighteen — is likewise not liable for disclosing or threatening to disclose that child's intimate image, unless the plaintiff proves the disclosure was prohibited by law, or was made for sexual arousal, gratification, humiliation, degradation, or monetary or commercial gain.
Cloud storage, web hosting, and similar infrastructure providers get their own shield: they aren't liable solely for providing services to someone who discloses or threatens to disclose an intimate image, as long as they lack actual knowledge the specific content violates the Act, or act quickly to remove or block it once they learn otherwise.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a parent be sued under this Act for sharing their child's photo?
Generally no — subsection C shields a parent, guardian, or legal custodian from liability for disclosing a child's intimate image, unless the plaintiff proves the disclosure was prohibited by law or made for sexual arousal, gratification, humiliation, degradation, or gain.
Does being a public figure make disclosure of my intimate image a matter of public concern?
No — subsection E says public-figure status alone doesn't make a disclosure a matter of public concern or interest.
Can a cloud storage or hosting company be sued for content a user uploads?
Not solely for providing the service, so long as it lacks actual knowledge the specific content violates the Act, or acts expeditiously to remove or disable it once it learns otherwise.
What other disclosures are exempt from liability?
Good-faith disclosures to law enforcement, in a legal proceeding, or during medical treatment or education, and good-faith reporting or investigation of unlawful or unwelcome conduct.
