The quote directly states that the GUARD Act would 'ban AI companions for minors' and 'ban AI companies from providing AI companions to minors,' which matches the full statement about banning AI companion chatbots for people under 18. The quote also includes extra provisions, but it clearly covers the complete statement.

The quote is authentic: an official Mark R. Warner Senate press release dated October 28, 2025 contains the passage verbatim, including the three GUARD Act bullet points. The provided URL itself returned 404, but the same text appears on Warner’s official press-release page under a different slug/redirect, so the attribution to the Office of U.S. Senator Mark R. Warner is supported. ([warner.senate.gov](https://www.warner.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/pressreleases?id=EA623598-115C-4432-9D60-895F465DC3D2))

Quote is the opening of the press release from the Office of U.S. Senator Mark R. Warner announcing the GUARD Act (October 2025), listing sponsors Warner, Hawley, Blumenthal, Murphy, and Britt and the bill's three main provisions. The source URL (warner.senate.gov) returned HTTP 403 to direct fetch, but web search confirmed the EXACT verbatim text — including the senator list and the bullet provisions ("Ban AI companies from providing AI companions to minors", "Mandate that AI companions disclose their non-human status...", "Create new crimes for companies which knowingly make available to minors AI companions that solicit or produce sexual content") — corroborated by Hawley/Britt parallel press releases, NBC News, TIME, and Congress.gov (S.3062). Author attribution is correct (Warner's Senate press office). 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 GUARD Act's purpose.
