AZ HB2587

Internet service providers (ISPs) operating in Arizona must offer subscribers a free, voluntary opt-in option to block access to adult content websites through their account portal or app.

The blocking feature must be user-initiated only (not a default setting), allow subscribers to enable or disable it at any time without additional fees or age verification, and include a mechanism to report erroneous blocks.

ISPs are prohibited from retaining, collecting, or sharing any personally identifiable information related to a subscriber's use of the blocking option beyond what is technically necessary, and cannot use such data for marketing or profiling.

The Attorney General may enforce the law after providing written notice and opportunity to cure violations; willful violations after notice carry civil penalties up to $5,000 per violation and $50,000 per calendar year.

"Adult content website" is defined as a site where more than one-third of content constitutes sexual material harmful to minors; exemptions exist for news, educational, scientific, artistic, and literary content.
