Missouri SB1412 mandates age verification for adult websites to protect minors from harmful sexual content.
Missouri SB1412 amends Chapter 407 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri by adding a new section requiring commercial entities to verify the age of individuals accessing websites with sexual material harmful to minors. This includes using digital identification or a commercial age verification system. Entities must display notices about the age verification process and cannot retain identifying information. Violations result in penalties, including fines and damages. The attorney general enforces the law, and the section exempts bona fide news or public interest broadcasts and reports.
