## Bill overview: provisions PRIA read

- Victims can sue over intimate digital images: benefit, high. People harmed by sharing, or threats to share, an intimate digital depiction without consent can sue. This covers realistic AI-created or edited sexual images, not unedited images captured at the time. Victims must prove the defendant knew or recklessly ignored their lack of consent, likely severe…
- Intimate-image victims gain coverage and commercial rights: benefit, medium. Victims of the harassment and financial-gain intimate-image offenses are included in Colorado's listed crime-victim provisions. This change does not set a specific payment amount. People whose private intimate images are disclosed under either listed law retain a protected authorship right over com…
- School lessons explain intimate-image risks and safeguards: benefit, low. Colorado's School Safety Resource Center must include private intimate images and intimate digital depictions in its model sexting program. Lessons must explain the 72-hour deletion or reporting option for students receiving material in violation of the youth image law. Taking reasonable steps with…
- Online services keep third-party image liability protections: benefit, low. Interactive computer, information, and telecommunications services are not liable under these criminal provisions for content supplied by someone else. Interactive computer services also have protection for voluntary, good-faith efforts to block access to covered intimate images. They are protected…

Child-exploitation law covers obscene digital or computer-made images indistinguishable from real depictions of children in explicit sexual conduct. This includes depictions of children participating in, observing, or being used for that conduct. Prosecutors do not have to identify an actual child…

Adults age 18 or older face class 1 misdemeanor charges for specified sharing or threats without the depicted person's consent. The harassment offense covers electronic or website sharing intended to harass, intimidate, or coerce, or involving reasonably foreseeable physical, emotional, or reputati…
- Youth image offenses include safeguards and penalties: mixed, medium. Separate rules cover people under 18 who digitally share, threaten to share, possess, or exchange private intimate images or intimate digital depictions. The depicted person must be at least 14 or less than four years younger than the youth. Covered conduct includes nonconsensual sharing, privacy v…
- Civil lawsuits have exceptions for protected sharing: mixed, low. Civil exceptions protect good-faith reports to police, disclosures in legal proceedings, investigations of unlawful or unwelcome conduct, and efforts to help victims. Sharing about a matter of public concern is also protected; being a public figure alone does not qualify. The person claiming an exc…
