Bill > SB1313

This bill amends Pennsylvania's Consolidated Statutes to add a new subchapter on Internet Protections for Minors. It requires commercial entities that publish or distribute material harmful to minors on publicly accessible websites to use reasonable age verification methods to limit minors' access to such material. The bill defines key terms like "material harmful to minors" and "reasonable age verification method." It also establishes penalties for commercial entities that violate the age verification requirements or improperly retain individuals' identifying information. The bill includes exceptions for bona fide news or public interest content and does not hold internet service providers liable for violations solely based on providing access to the content.
