This bill proposes new regulations in Minnesota Statutes, chapter 325M, aimed at prohibiting minors from accessing chatbots for recreational purposes. It defines key terms such as "chatbot" and "minor," with the latter referring to individuals under the age of 18. The bill makes it unlawful for any person who owns or controls a website, application, software, or program to allow minors to access chatbots for recreational use. Additionally, it mandates that individuals offering chatbot services must require proof of age before granting access.

To enforce these regulations, the bill allows individuals harmed by violations to pursue civil actions for damages, including statutory damages up to $1,000, as well as injunctive relief and recovery of attorney fees. Furthermore, the attorney general is empowered to enforce the provisions, with violators facing civil penalties of up to $5,000,000. This legislation aims to protect minors from potential risks associated with chatbot interactions.
