SB 192 creates new liability rules for internet companies and websites that publish or distribute material harmful to minors without using age verification methods to block access. The bill also holds these commercial entities responsible for wrongfully keeping minors' personal information. This adds new legal consequences in South Dakota for online platforms that fail to prevent minors from accessing adult content or that improperly retain children's data.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
