AZ HB2115

Requires manufacturers of tablets and smartphones activated in Arizona to automatically enable a filter blocking access to material harmful to minors on mobile data networks, manufacturer-owned applications, and wired/wireless internet networks.

Filter must notify users when blocking content and allow unblocking only with a passcode that reasonably prevents unauthorized deactivation or removal.

Manufacturers face civil and criminal liability if devices activated in Arizona lack compliant filters and minors subsequently access harmful material; treated as separate violations per device.

Parents or legal guardians may sue manufacturers for non-compliance or individuals who enable filter removal passcodes, recovering actual damages, liquidated damages of $50,000 per violation, punitive damages, and attorney fees.

Attorney General may seek injunctions, civil penalties up to $5,000 per violation (capped at $50,000 total), costs, and license revocation; unlawfully enabling filter removal is a crime with fines up to $5,000, or a Class 6 felony with fines up to $50,000 for repeat offenses.
