Persons prohibited from allowing minors to access chatbots for recreational purposes, and civil penalties provided.

HF 1991 prohibits website, app, or software owners from allowing minors (under 18) to access chatbots for recreational use. It requires these providers to verify a user's age before granting access. Violators face civil penalties: individuals can seek up to $1,000 per violation, while the state attorney general may impose fines up to $5 million for businesses. The law directly affects companies offering chatbot services to the public, aiming to restrict minors' recreational chatbot use through age verification and financial consequences for non-compliance.
