Age verification. Requires an adult oriented website operator that displays material harmful to minors to use a reasonable age verification method to prevent a minor from accessing an adult oriented website. Creates a cause of action to permit: (1) the parent or guardian of a child harmed by a violation of the age verification requirement to obtain monetary damages, injunctive relief, and reasonable attorney's fees; and (2) the attorney general to bring an action based on a violation of the age verification requirement or data retention requirements to obtain injunctive relief, and, after providing notice and an opportunity to cure, a civil penalty of not more than $5,000 per day of violation.
