“An operator shall require an individual seeking access to a companion AI chatbot to create a user account to use or otherwise interact with the chatbot. [...] Upon the creation of a new companion AI chatbot user account, an operator shall: (a) Request age information from the user; and (b) Verify the user’s age using standard age verification or anonymous age verification. [...] If the age verification process determines that a user is a minor, an operator must do all of the following: [...] Obtain verifiable parental consent [...] before allowing the minor to access and use the companion AI chatbot; and [...] Block the minor’s access to any companion AI chatbot that prompts, promotes, solicits, or otherwise suggests sexually explicit communication.”
