AI Summary
This bill enacts a new chapter in Louisiana's Revised Statutes that requires commercial entities that publish or distribute material harmful to minors on the internet to perform reasonable age verification methods to access such content. The bill authorizes the state's Attorney General to investigate alleged violations and initiate civil actions to assess penalties of up to $5,000 per day for violations, as well as additional penalties of up to $10,000 per violation. The bill also outlines what constitutes "material harmful to minors" and defines "reasonable age verification methods" that can be used to comply with the new requirements.
