Following testimony from megastars Steven Tyler and Mick Fleetwood (of Fleetwood Mac, the Senate Judiciary Committee on Friday morning gave the green light to the Steven Tyler Act. 

The proposal, SB 465,  was passed with amendments that would limit the circumstances under which a person could sue for privacy invasion. 

The original bill stated:

“A person is liable for a civil action of constructive invasion of privacy if the person captures or intends to capture, in a manner that is offensive to a reasonable person, through any means a visual image, sound recording, or other physical impression of another person while that person is engaging in a personal or familial activity with a reasonable expectation of privacy.”

Sen. Clayton Hee recommended a number of amendments, including that the property must be owned or leased by the person aiming to sue.

Tyler and Fleetwood are expected to speak soon at the Senate’s session.
