What it does

Nebraska LB 1092, the Online Age Verification Liability Act, makes any commercial site with a substantial share of material harmful to minors verify a visitor is 18 with a reasonable method reading government ID or transaction data. Enforcement is a private right of action for a person harmed and for anyone whose identifying data the site unlawfully kept.

What’s at stake

Nebraska is the state's second age-verification law alongside its social media measures, so adult sites and mainstream platforms are both covered. For a Nebraskan, the adult-site rule still means an ID check stands between them and legal content.

Our take

Nebraska moved this through its unusual single-chamber legislature 35 to 3, with no organized lawsuit against it since. A near-unanimous vote on handing porn sites your ID is a sign of how normal this demand has become in statehouses.
