The bill defines "intimate image" as any visual depiction of an identifiable individual that shows specific private body parts or sexually explicit conduct. "Digitally forged intimate image" refers to a visual depiction that appears authentic but is generated or modified using computer-generated means to falsely depict an individual's appearance or conduct.
