Bill Summary

(Note: This summary applies to this bill as introduced and does not reflect any amendments that may be subsequently adopted. If this bill passes third reading in the house of introduction, a bill summary that applies to the reengrossed version of this bill will be available at http://leg.colorado.gov.)

The bill creates a cause of action against a person who discloses or threatens to disclose a realistic visual depiction of another individual (depicted individual) that has been created, altered, or produced by generative AI, image editing software, or computer-generated means (intimate digital depiction). A depicted individual who has suffered harm from the nonconsensual disclosure or threatened disclosure of an intimate digital depiction has a cause of action against the person who disclosed or threatened to disclose the intimate digital depiction if the person knew or acted with reckless disregard for whether the depicted individual:

• Did not consent to the disclosure;
• Would experience severe emotional distress due to the disclosure or threatened disclosure; and
• Was identifiable.
• With the intent to harass, intimidate, or coerce the depicted individual, or with the intent to obtain a pecuniary benefit; or
• Knowing, or under circumstances when the person reasonably should have known, that the disclosure or threatened disclosure would cause physical, emotional, reputational, or economic harm to the depicted individual.
• Affected the conduct of an administrative, legislative, or judicial proceeding of a governmental agency, including the administration of an election; or
• Posed an imminent and serious threat to the safety of the depicted individual or the depicted individual's immediate family and the person knew or reasonably should have known of the imminent and serious threat.

The bill provides an exception to civil liability if the disclosure is made in good faith under various circumstances or is related to a matter of public concern.

A successful plaintiff may recover the defendant's monetary gain from the intimate digital depiction; either actual damages or liquidated damages of $150,000; exemplary damages; and litigation costs, including reasonable attorney fees. A court may also order the defendant to cease disclosure of the intimate digital depiction.

The bill updates the definition of "sexually exploitative material" in the context of the criminal law punishing sexual exploitation of a child to include realistic computer-generated digital depictions that are obscene.

The bill changes the criminal offenses of posting a private image for harassment and posting a private image for pecuniary gain to the related offenses of disclosing a private intimate image or intimate digital depiction for the same purposes. A person commits disclosure of a private intimate image or intimate digital depiction for harassment or for pecuniary gain if the person discloses or threatens to disclose a private intimate image or intimate digital depiction without consent:

Disclosing a private intimate image or intimate digital depiction is a class 1 misdemeanor; except that it is a class 6 felony if the person made the disclosure and the disclosure:

• Page 12, Line 8SECTION 2.  In Colorado Revised Statutes, 18-6-403, amend(2)(j) and (3.5); and add(1.7), (2)(b.7), (2)(f.5), (9), and (10) as follows:

• Page 12, Line 918-6-403.  Sexual exploitation of a child - legislative declaration

• Page 12, Line 10- definitions. (1.7)  The general assembly further finds and declares that:

• Page 12, Line 11(a)  Due to advances in technology and artificial

• Page 12, Line 12intelligence, perpetrators can generate depictions of children

• Page 12, Line 13via computer programming that are indistinguishable from

• Page 12, Line 14depictions of real children; use partial images of real children

• Page 12, Line 15to create a composite image that is unidentifiable as a

• Page 12, Line 16particular child and that prevents even experts from

• Page 12, Line 17concluding that partial images of real children were used; and

• Page 12, Line 18disguise pictures of real children being abused by making the

• Page 12, Line 19images appear computer-generated, thereby avoiding detection and prosecution under previous statutes; and

• Page 12, Line 20(b)  Sexually exploitative material results from the abuse

• Page 12, Line 21of real children, whether or not the artificial generation or

• Page 13, Line 1modification involves an identifiable child. Artificially

• Page 13, Line 2generated child sexual abuse material re-victimizes actual

• Page 13, Line 3child victims, as their images are collected from technological

• Page 13, Line 4sources, including the internet, and studied by artificial

• Page 13, Line 5intelligence. The danger facing Colorado's children who are

• Page 13, Line 6abused with the aid of sexually exploitative material is just as

• Page 13, Line 7great when the abuser uses material produced in whole or in

• Page 13, Line 8part by computer programming or artificial intelligence as when the material consists of images of real children.

• Page 13, Line 9(c)  Without legislative action, the difficulties that

• Page 13, Line 10members of law enforcement who specialize in investigating

• Page 13, Line 11internet crimes against children face will continue to intensify

• Page 13, Line 12and threaten to render unenforceable our laws that protect

• Page 13, Line 13real children. It is contrary to the values of the people of

• Page 13, Line 14Colorado to tolerate the possession, creation, or dissemination

• Page 13, Line 15of sexually abusive content containing images that are virtually indistinguishable from those of real children.

• Page 13, Line 16(2)  As used in this section, unless the context otherwise requires:

• Page 13, Line 18(f.5)  "Obscene" means a visual depiction that:

• Page 13, Line 19(I)  The average person, applying contemporary community

• Page 13, Line 20standards, would find that, taken as a whole, appeals to the prurient interest in sex;

• Page 14, Line 4stimulation or arousal, or the covered penis in a discernibly turgid state; and

• Page 14, Line 5(III)  Taken as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value.

• Page 14, Line 6(j)  "Sexually exploitative material" means: any
