Plain-English Summary

The bill would require businesses that sell age-restricted products or services—such as alcohol, tobacco, or adult content—to use age verification systems to confirm customers are old enough before completing sales. This would affect retailers, online platforms, and other commercial companies that currently rely on manual ID checks or honor systems. The requirement aims to prevent minors from accessing products legally restricted to adults.
