preventing minors from accessing obscenity on certain electronic devices with internet access.

HB 293 aims to restrict minors' access to obscene content on internet-enabled electronic devices like smartphones and tablets. It would require device manufacturers or service providers to implement age-appropriate content filters or blocking systems. The bill directly affects minors under 18 and the companies producing or distributing these devices. Currently, the bill was referred for interim study by the committee with a 17-0 vote, indicating it has not yet advanced to a full vote.
