Bill Summary
Cause of Action for Minors Injured by Pornography
AI Summary
This bill establishes a cause of action for minors who are harmed, either physically, psychologically, or through emotional or medical illnesses, as a result of viewing pornographic material. The bill defines "pornographic material" and provides exemptions for certain entities like internet service providers and electronic game distributors if the distribution of the material is only incidental to their function and they make reasonable efforts to warn users and verify their age. The bill allows for actual and punitive damages, and enables class action lawsuits to be brought under the law.
