SF 2105 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Age verification requirement for websites with material harmful to minors

SF 2105 requires commercial websites that display "material harmful to minors" on 25% or more of their pages in a month to verify users are 18+ using approved methods (like commercial databases). It prohibits websites from retaining personal data after age verification and bans them from allowing access without verification. Violations can trigger civil lawsuits by parents of minors or the attorney general, with fines up to $25,000 per incident. The bill directly affects commercial websites meeting the content threshold, not general internet users or platforms without such material.
