Plain English Summary

AI-GENERATED
Expands digital voyeurism law to cover private fenced yards.

The bill adds "privately fenced yard" to the list of places where a person has a reasonable expectation of privacy under Florida's digital voyeurism statute.

This means recording or broadcasting someone undressing in a privately fenced yard is now explicitly treated as a violation of that person's privacy.

The change clarifies that the privacy protection extends beyond indoor spaces like bathrooms and fitting rooms to include certain outdoor areas.

The new language takes effect on July 1, 2026, and applies to the existing offense of digital voyeurism.
