Senate Bill 19-100: Uniform Civil Remedies for Unauthorized Disclosure of Intimate Images

• Creates civil cause of action for individuals who suffer harm from intentional or threatened disclosure of private intimate images without consent, requiring defendant knew or acted with reckless disregard regarding lack of consent, privacy status, and identifiability.

• Defines "intimate image" as photograph, film, video, or similar medium showing uncovered genitals, pubic area, anus, female postpubescent nipple, or sexual conduct.

• Provides statutory damages up to $10,000 per defendant plus actual damages, monetary gains, punitive damages, attorney fees, and injunctive relief.

• Establishes exemptions from liability for good faith disclosures to law enforcement, legal proceedings, medical education, or in reporting unlawful conduct or matters of public concern, with exceptions for abuse or commercial sexual exploitation.

• Allows plaintiffs to proceed under pseudonym with court protection of identifying information, provides six-year statute of limitations (extended until age of majority for minors), and repeals conflicting civil provisions in existing Colorado law.
