This bill establishes regulations for commercial entities, referred to as "covered platforms," that publish or distribute obscene material on the internet. It defines key terms such as "covered platform," "identifying information," and "reasonable age verification." The bill mandates that covered platforms must perform reasonable age verification for individuals attempting to access obscene material, which can be conducted by third parties and may utilize cryptographic techniques to protect user privacy. Additionally, covered platforms and third parties are prohibited from retaining or disseminating individuals' identifying information obtained during the age verification process. Violations of these provisions can result in punitive damages, which cannot exceed three times the amount of reasonable attorney fees and costs.

The bill also grants the attorney general the authority to take civil action against covered platforms or third parties suspected of violating the law. This includes the ability to enforce compliance, impose civil penalties of up to $10,000 for each violation, and seek additional remedies. If there is a violation of an injunction, the penalties can increase to $100,000. Furthermore, individuals who are aware of violations can report them to the attorney general, who is required to establish an electronic reporting system for such submissions. Importantly, the bill clarifies that it does not impose liability on users of interactive computer services or providers that merely offer access to covered platforms or obscene material not under their control.
