Hawaii introduces legislation to change indecent exposure laws

On January 18th, 2024, Hawaii introduced legislation to refine indecent exposure laws, focusing on enhancing protections for minors. Spearheaded by Democrat Scott Saiki, the bills aim to amend penalties for exposing minors to nudity, shifting the criminal charge from a petty misdemeanor to a misdemeanor. This legislative effort, reflecting a broader trend emphasizing child protection, distinguishes between malicious exposure and non-sexual nudity. However, it raises concerns within the nudist community about potential misinterpretations that could penalize non-obscene nudity. Comparatively, Hawaii’s approach, prioritizing an indecency standard, contrasts with more restrictive measures in states like Wisconsin, highlighting the nuanced strategies in addressing public nudity and child protection.

New Jersey's proposed Senate Bill No. 1905 and Assembly Bill No. 1723, led by Republicans Carmen F. Amato, Jr. and Brian E. Rumpf, aim to tighten regulations on sexually oriented businesses, notably expanding zoning restrictions and granting municipalities more regulatory control. These changes, while targeting businesses with sexual content, raise concerns for nudist venues, potentially classifying them similarly due to broad legislative language. This calls for nudist community advocacy to ensure distinctions between sexual content businesses and naturist lifestyle venues are clearly recognized in the law.
