The proposed bill enacts several new sections of the Revised Code (1349.07 to 1349.076) aimed at establishing age verification and parental consent requirements for developers and application stores. Key definitions are introduced, including terms such as "Adult," "Minor," "Application," and "Developer," which clarify the scope of the legislation. The bill mandates that application distribution providers and developers implement measures to verify the age of account holders, ensure parental consent for minors accessing certain content, and provide tools for parental controls. Additionally, it outlines the responsibilities of operating system providers and internet browsers in facilitating these age verification processes.

The bill also includes provisions that protect application distribution providers and developers from liability when they make good faith efforts to comply with the new requirements, even if errors occur in age signal verification. The Attorney General is granted exclusive authority to enforce these sections, with the ability to impose civil penalties for violations. Importantly, the bill specifies that it does not create a private right of action for individuals regarding enforcement. The provisions of the bill are set to take effect one year after its enactment.
