Today, seventy-six new Missouri laws are being enacted, including a priority bill of the MCC.
Among the bills taking effect is HB 1839, which enacts age verification requirements for online pornography websites. The law now requires internet pornography companies to verify the age of anyone attempting to access their content, bars minor users from accessing the websites, and requires the websites not to store any of the identification information of adult users, including a monetary fine for violations of these restrictions.
