Kiana Arellano's law refers to CRS 18-9-111(3). This section prohibits cyber-bullying. Kiana's law comes from Kiana Arellano. In 2013, she was a high school sophomore. She was also a cheerleader. But classmates bullied her online. Kiana tried to hang herself. She survived. But the lack of oxygen left her paraplegic. It resulted in a severe brain injury. She has no ability to talk. At the time, Colorado had no law against cyber-bullying. So the state legislature passed Kiana Arellano's Law. It took effect in July of 2015.
