Ultimately, the bill encourages the public to celebrate the sacrifices and contributions of mothers to the nation.

To comply, these platforms must collect verifiable age data, clearly disclose that the chatbot is not a human, and ensure the AI does not claim to be a licensed professional like a therapist or doctor. The law also makes it a federal crime to design or distribute such chatbots that encourage minors to engage in sexually explicit acts or promote self-harm and violence, with penalties of up to $100,000 per violation.

It also allows CBP to share such information with additional parties (e.g., importers or rights holders) as determined appropriate by the Commissioner. The changes aim to improve coordination between enforcement and industry for intellectual property protection.
