Bill > SB382

This bill, known as the "Safer Internet for Children Act", requires internet service providers (ISPs) in Missouri to block access to obscene websites, defined as content containing child pornography, explicit sexual material, nudity, or other sexually explicit content. ISPs must provide a means for subscribers aged 18 and older to create an 8-digit password to access these blocked websites. The password must be changed every three months, and ISPs are required to notify subscribers about this law and the process for creating and updating the password. The bill also establishes a process for subscribers to report websites they believe should or should not be blocked, with the attorney general's office serving as the final arbiter in such disputes. Subscribers who provide their password to minors to access blocked content can face a class A misdemeanor, and ISPs that fail to block known obscene content can also be charged with a class A misdemeanor.
