Bill > SB0287

This bill establishes age verification requirements for commercial entities that publish or distribute material deemed harmful to minors on the internet. Specifically, it requires these entities to use "reasonable age verification methods" to ensure individuals attempting to access such material are at least 18 years old. The bill also prohibits these entities from retaining any identifying information of individuals after access is granted. Violations can result in liability for damages, court costs, and legal fees. The bill includes exceptions for bona fide news and public interest content, as well as protections for internet service providers, search engines, and cloud service providers who are not responsible for the harmful content.
