Bill > HB1426

This bill establishes provisions relating to civil liability for publishing or distributing material harmful to minors on the internet. It defines key terms such as "interactive computer service," "material harmful to minors," and "sexual conduct." The bill requires commercial entities that knowingly or intentionally publish or distribute a substantial portion of such material on their websites to verify that anyone attempting to access it is at least 18 years old. Entities that violate this requirement can be held civilly liable for damages and reasonable attorney's fees. The bill also specifies that it does not impose any obligations or liability on providers or users of interactive computer services on the internet.
