Creates requirement that users must provide government-issued identification prior to viewing pornographic materials provided by commercial entities on the internet

This bill requires commercial websites hosting a significant amount of pornographic content to verify that users are at least eighteen years old before they can view the material. To comply, these sites must ask visitors to provide government-issued identification or use other commercially reasonable methods to confirm their age. The law explicitly prohibits websites from keeping any personal identifying information about users after they have successfully accessed the content. Additionally, the bill holds website owners financially liable for damages if minors access the material due to a failure in age verification, while exempting news organizations and internet service providers from these specific requirements.
