LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Proposed legislation was filed today in the Arkansas legislature requiring an ID to prove a viewer was over the age of 18 before entering a website offering pornography.

The sponsors of Senate Bill 66, Sen. Tyler Dees (R-Siloam Springs) and Sen. Jim Perry (R-Van Buren) say the bill intends to protect minors from what they call “the distribution of harmful material.”

The proposed bill requires a digitized identification card to prove that anyone from Arkansas trying to enter a pornography website is over 18.
