MS HB1054

Commercial entities that knowingly publish or distribute child sexual exploitation material or obscene material online face civil liability for nominal damages, actual damages, court costs, and attorney fees

Internet service providers, search engines, and cloud service providers are exempt from liability unless they created the obscene content themselves

Civil penalties up to $10,000 per violation apply to anyone who buys, sells, delivers, or possesses child sexual exploitation devices or images, including anatomically correct dolls or robots resembling minors

The Attorney General may seek injunctive relief against violating entities and must develop compliance guidance for commercial entities

Victims or their parents/guardians may bring civil claims in court without exhausting administrative remedies, and sovereign immunity does not apply as a defense
