Websites must utilize commercial age verification systems that check a user’s government identification or “public or private transactional data” to confirm that a user is at least 18 years old. Louisiana’s law sparked a flurry of copycat legislation to be introduced in state houses around the country. Twenty-five states now require age verification for websites that contain “material harmful to minors.” Title Status Latest Action Date Enforcement hf:tax:policy-status hf:tax:government-body
