An Act amending Title 18 (Crimes and Offenses) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in computer offenses, providing for Internet protections for minors.

SB 603 requires commercial websites containing over one-third "material harmful to minors" (such as explicit sexual content or content lacking literary value for minors) to implement reasonable age verification before minors can access that content. It directly affects businesses operating such websites, mandating they use third-party verification methods without retaining users' personal data. The law exempts bona fide news organizations and news-gathering activities, and holds commercial entities liable for damages if minors access harmful content or if they improperly retain user data. Internet service providers are not held liable for simply hosting or connecting to such websites.
