PA HB1513

Commercial entities that knowingly publish or distribute material harmful to minors on websites where such content exceeds 33 1/3% of total material must implement reasonable age verification measures to verify users are 18 or older

Age verification may include government-issued ID (driver's license, passport, military ID), digital identification, bank account information, or other documents reliably establishing adult status

Entities performing age verification and third-party verification providers are prohibited from retaining or sharing users' personal identifying information

Violations allow courts to award treble damages or $10,000 (whichever is greater), plus attorney fees, court costs, and injunctive relief when a minor accesses harmful material or when personal data is improperly retained/shared

Internet service providers, search engines, and cloud service providers are exempt if they merely provide access or connection without creating the harmful content; the act takes effect 60 days after enactment
