Enact the Innocence Act

Created a new Innocence Act Enforcement Fund that receives up to 25% of civil penalties collected by the Attorney General to cover enforcement expenses.

Changed enforcement from private civil lawsuits by victims to exclusive Attorney General authority to investigate violations and impose civil penalties of up to $100,000 per day.

Added mandatory age verification requirements using photo identification, visual verification software, or transactional data for all organizations selling or distributing obscene or harmful materials to juveniles.

Required organizations to implement geofence systems that block users located in Ohio from accessing content until their age is verified.

Required organizations to delete age verification data immediately after verification is completed, except for account and billing purposes.

Added new definitions for cloud service providers, interactive computer services, internet providers, mobile services, video service providers, and harmful to juveniles materials.

Established a two-year grace period after the effective date before the Attorney General can initiate enforcement actions without prior notice.

Removed the private right of action that allowed victims to sue offenders for damages and injunctive relief.

Added exemptions for news media, interactive computer service providers, mobile services, internet providers, cable providers, satellite services, and cloud service providers from the age verification requirements.
