AI Summary

This concurrent resolution proposes an amendment to the Colorado constitution that would require the state's general assembly to pass a law mandating that anyone who distributes pornographic material, which is defined as explicit visual, auditory, or written content depicting sexual activity, nudity, or other sexually explicit themes, must verify that each person receiving it is at least 18 years old. The general assembly would also be responsible for establishing acceptable methods for age verification, which could include any commercially reasonable options, and for setting penalties for those who fail to comply. The resolution outlines that this proposed amendment would be put to a vote of registered electors on November 3, 2026, and would become part of the constitution if at least 55% of those voting on the ballot title vote in favor.
