MO SB1412

Commercial entities publishing websites where more than one-third of content is sexual material harmful to minors must implement age verification to confirm users are 18 or older, using digital identification, government-issued ID, or commercial verification systems

Entities performing age verification are prohibited from retaining any identifying information of users

Websites must display mandatory warnings in 14-point font stating pornography is "potentially biologically addictive," harms brain development, and is linked to mental health issues, along with SAMHSA helpline information on every page

Attorney General enforces the law with civil penalties of $10,000 per day for operating without age verification, $10,000 per instance of retaining user data, and up to $250,000 if minors access harmful material

Internet service providers, search engines, and cloud service providers are exempt from liability for merely providing access to non-compliant websites they do not control
