In one paragraph

Arizona's SB 1462 (Laws 2025, Ch. 106) amends A.R.S. 13-1425, unlawful disclosure of images depicting nudity or sexual activities, to cover fabricated images. A "realistic pictorial representation" is an image created or modified to reasonably appear to be an actual image of an identifiable person nude or engaged in sexual activity that did not actually occur. Disclosing such an image, or threatening to, is a class 1 misdemeanor. Images made in the public interest (scientific or educational activity) or about a newsworthy event are excluded, as are representations the depicted person made.
