The Senate Committee on Judiciary convened on May 5, 2025, to discuss several legislative matters, including public hearings and work sessions on various bills. The meeting began with the closure of the public hearing on House Bill 2008, transitioning into the work session segment of the agenda.
Chair Brzezinski announced that two bills would not proceed as planned. House Bill 2460A has been rescheduled for Thursday, May 8, while House Bill 3174 is postponed pending an amendment. The committee aims to address these bills before the upcoming posting deadline.
The first work session focused on House Bill 229A. Jules provided an overview of the bill, which seeks to expand the definition of "image" in the context of unlawful dissemination of intimate images. This amendment includes digitally created, manipulated, or altered depictions that are reasonably realistic, classifying such actions as a Class A misdemeanor.
The meeting highlighted the committee's ongoing efforts to address legislative issues while managing scheduling challenges. Further discussions and decisions on the rescheduled bills are anticipated in the coming days.
