03:29 PM -- HB 16-1058
Representative Fields and Representative Willet, co-prime sponsors, presented House Bill 16-1058. The bill creates a crime of misuse of electronic images by a juvenile, a class 2 misdemeanor.

It is an affirmative defense to the crime if the juvenile did not solicit, request, make, transmit, or distribute the image.
