EPPC’s model defines which platforms would be covered by the bill, limiting the bill to AI companion chatbots as opposed to general purpose chatbots. Companion chatbots are defined based on their features, including: anthropomorphic features; features that facilitate user engagement; and unprompted or unsolicited engagement with a user. The model requires AI companion chatbot platforms to perform reasonable age verification methods to verify that users are not minors (younger than 18 years old). It also requires that all identifying information used to verify age or shall not be retained once access to the platform is granted. Companies are legally required to delete any such information. This helps ensure user privacy.Disputed source (2025)

The quoted passage does appear verbatim at the provided EPPC URL in the “Components of the Model Bill” section, including the unusual phrasing “used to verify age or shall not be retained.” However, that page is credited to two individual authors—Chloe Lawrence and Clare Morell—and was published on October 29, 2025, so this is not verifiable as a single-author Chloe Lawrence quote.

The text appears verbatim at the EPPC source URL (in the “Components of the Model Bill” bullets; only the bullet/paragraph formatting differs) and also in the linked PDF summary. But both sources, published October 29, 2025, credit the work jointly to Chloe Lawrence and Clare Morell, not to Chloe Lawrence alone, so the quote is real but the attribution given here is incomplete/misattributed.

Quote describes the EPPC SAFE CHAT Act model legislation — defining covered "companion chatbot" platforms by features (anthropomorphic features, features that facilitate user engagement, unprompted/unsolicited engagement) and requiring reasonable age verification with deletion of identifying data. Web search confirmed author attribution: Chloe Lawrence is a Policy Analyst at the Ethics and Public Policy Center and is the named author (with fellow Clare Morell) of this exact model legislation publication (she has an EPPC author page at eppc.org/author/chloe_lawrence). The quoted content matches EPPC's model bill, and the second paragraph matches verbatim text independently confirmed from the SAFE CHAT Act summary. Vote alignment is correct: statement #416 "Ban AI companion chatbots for minors under 18" (for) and #445 "Requiring age verification and content safeguards for AI chatbots to protect minors" (for) both align with the model bill restricting AI companion chatbots from minors via age verification. Year 2025 matches the October 2025 release.
