New Jersey A3228 requires entities to verify the age of individuals accessing certain online material and prohibits minors from accessing material.

New Jersey A3228 mandates that entities verify the age of individuals attempting to access certain online material and restricts minors from accessing content deemed harmful. The Division of Consumer Affairs is tasked with establishing standards for age verification methods and defining "material harmful to minors." Entities must use reasonable age verification methods, such as digitized identification cards or third-party services, and may not retain personal information post-verification. The bill exempts bona fide news or public interest broadcasts and videos.
