Age Verification for Material Harmful to Minors

Adult websites with a substantial share of material harmful to minors must use reasonable age verification (digitized ID, government ID, or transactional-data checks) before granting access. The verifier may not keep identifying information after access is granted. SB 488 (Ch. 199, L. 2025) made the law privately enforceable only, and a federal challenge (Free Speech Coalition v. Knudsen) was dismissed on August 6, 2025.
