Chamber Passed·3/27/26

New Hampshire SB648 mandates age verification for accessing pornographic material on websites and apps.

New Hampshire SB648 introduces a new chapter requiring commercial entities to verify users' ages before allowing access to pornographic material. This applies to websites and apps that publish or distribute more than half of their content as pornographic material. The bill defines "pornographic material" as content depicting nudity or sexual acts for sexual stimulation. It mandates the use of reasonable age verification methods, such as government-issued ID checks by third-party services, without retaining personal data.
