HB 2112 Washington House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Establishing an age minimum to access certain adult content online.

HB 2112 requires commercial websites and social media platforms that publish or distribute online content where over one-third qualifies as "sexual material harmful to minors" to verify users are 18 or older before access. This applies to entities like adult content platforms, using methods such as government ID checks or digital identification, while prohibiting retention of personal data. The bill mandates clear health notices about youth risks on content pages and exempts news organizations, internet service providers, and constitutionally protected activities. Violations could trigger daily penalties up to $10,000 per day, plus up to $250,000 if minors access restricted content.
