## Text

1/1/2027 (1) A covered platform is not liable under Section 13-72b-303 if the covered platform demonstrates that: (a) the covered platform implemented and maintained notice and removal procedures that comply with Section 13-72b-302; and (b) the covered platform acted in good faith in responding to notices of non-consensual counterfeit intimate images.
