HB 18-1143

HB 18-1143 is a Colorado bill that removes certain laws about sexually explicit materials harmful to children from the state's statutes, because these laws were declared unconstitutional by the Colorado Supreme Court in 1985. The bill also makes some adjustments to other parts of the law to account for this removal. Since it has been signed into law, these outdated and invalid provisions are no longer part of Colorado’s legal framework. This affects anyone previously or currently subject to those specific laws regarding harmful materials intended for children.
