"Human Trafficking and Child Exploitation Prevention Act"; requires Internet-connected devices to have blocking capability in certain circumstances.

Summary

It also obligates producers to keep the blocker working, provide a consumer reporting system, and pay a $20 fee per device that can be used to fund anti‑human‑trafficking efforts. Violations can trigger civil suits, fines up to $20,000 and other penalties.
