The proposed bill aims to prohibit individuals or entities from allowing minors, defined as individuals under the age of 18, to access chatbots for recreational purposes. It introduces new legal language in Minnesota Statutes, chapter 325M, specifically under section 325M.40, which outlines definitions, prohibitions, and enforcement mechanisms related to this issue. The bill defines a "chatbot" as a computer program designed to simulate conversation with human users, particularly over the internet.

To enforce this prohibition, the bill mandates that any person offering chatbot services for recreational purposes must require proof of age from users before granting access. It also establishes remedies for individuals harmed by violations of this section, allowing them to pursue civil actions for damages, statutory damages up to $1,000, and attorney fees. Additionally, the attorney general is empowered to enforce the law, with violators facing civil penalties of up to $5,000,000.
