Relating to: warning labels for explicit content, creating an explicit content label warning surcharge, making an appropriation, and providing a penalty. (FE)

Summary

The bill would require anyone who distributes explicit material—whether in print or on a website or app—to place a conspicuous warning label on the material and to tag digital files with a specific metadata label. Violations would be enforced by the Department of Justice, with fines up to $2,500 for a first offense (reduced to $500 if corrected within 14 days) and higher penalties for repeat offenses, plus a surcharge that is deposited into the state’s general fund. The measure aims to give consumers, especially minors, clearer notice about potentially offensive content.
