SB 1346 — Public Records/Department of Legal Affairs/Artificial Intelligence Violations

SB 1346 requires commercial entities that publish or distribute material on websites where more than one-third of the content is sexual material harmful to minors to implement reasonable age verification methods to ensure that users are at least 18 years old. The law prohibits age verification entities from retaining identifying information of individuals and mandates that such entities post specific notices on their websites. The act excludes bona fide news or public interest broadcasts and does not impose liability on internet service providers for content outside their control. The Missouri Attorney General is tasked with enforcing the law and may initiate legal action if a violation is believed to have occurred.
