Overview
This bill aims to protect minors from accessing sexually explicit material online by requiring age verification for sexually oriented online entities. It amends existing obscenity laws to apply to the internet, defining ‘sexually oriented online entity’ and outlining methods for verifying a user’s age – including options like driver’s license checks and third-party services. Violations of the age verification requirement could result in criminal charges and civil penalties of up to $50,000.
