Prohibits the sale of mature and violent video games to minors
This bill prohibits the sale or rental of video games with mature or violent content to anyone under 18. It requires retailers to store such games separately (only accessible to adults), verify age using valid ID (like a driver's license or passport), and bans sales to minors even if ID is presented. Specifically, it targets games depicting violent crimes, sexual acts in violent contexts, advocacy of murder, racism, or illegal drug/alcohol use. The law applies directly to video game retailers and their customers under 18.
