We recently reported Senate Bill 79 which intended to protect people from unauthorized commercial use without the person’s written consent, but in reality threatened to end street photography and criminalize photographers worldwide.

Bill supporters may attempt to override the veto, but the National Press Photographers Association states this is a clear win for photographers’ rights.
