This bill establishes new regulations regarding the publication and distribution of obscene material on the internet, specifically targeting commercial entities. It mandates that these entities must implement age verification methods to ensure that individuals attempting to access such material are not minors. Acceptable methods for age verification include using commercially available databases or other reasonable methods. If a commercial entity fails to comply with these requirements and a minor accesses obscene material, the entity can be held civilly liable for damages, including reasonable attorney fees and costs.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that it does not impose civil liability on providers or users of interactive computer services, thereby protecting them from legal repercussions related to the access of obscene material by minors. This legislation aims to enhance the protection of minors from inappropriate content online while holding commercial publishers accountable for their distribution practices.
