Also relevant to:LGBTQ+ / Queer
Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill requires commercial entities that publish or distribute online material, where more than one-third is considered "sexual material harmful to minors," to use a third party for age verification. This ensures individuals accessing the material are 18 or older, and the third party cannot keep identifying information. The Attorney General can enforce these rules, with penalties including daily fines and additional amounts if minors access the material.
