Two terms take their meaning from other statutes
The document says “means”Who acts: CongressHow: statuteSec. 2 in the PDF
What the document says
“The term `intimate visual depiction' has the meaning given such term in section 1309 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022 (15 U.S.C. 6851).”
Two of the inserted definitions do not state a meaning of their own. Intimate visual depiction takes its meaning from section 1309 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022, and interactive computer service takes its meaning from section 230. Neither of those provisions is indexed here, so nothing recorded says what either provides.
What the document actually says
“The term `intimate visual depiction' has the meaning given such term in section 1309 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022 (15 U.S.C. 6851).”
That sentence, in plain words
This law does not spell out what a private image is. It points to another law for that.
What this is about
The other law is from 2022. The words online service point to a different law again. This site has not indexed either one.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
