The proposed bill establishes new regulations for age verification on websites that contain material deemed harmful to minors. It mandates that covered platforms implement reasonable age verification measures to prevent minors from accessing such content. The bill defines key terms, including "covered platform," "material harmful to minors," and "reasonable age verification measures," and outlines the acceptable forms of identification for age verification. Additionally, it specifies that any covered platform or third party conducting age verification must not retain any identifying information after access is granted.

The bill also provides a framework for civil liability, allowing parents or guardians of minors to sue covered platforms for violations of the age verification requirements. It stipulates that damages can include a fixed amount for each instance of failure to verify age, as well as court costs and attorney fees. Furthermore, the bill clarifies that it applies only to minors who are residents of Wyoming or have been present in the state for a specified duration, and it outlines exceptions for certain internet service providers and protections under federal law. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
