The content is inaccessible and I can't find any cached copy, so I'm burying this for now. Will restore if/when there's an accessible source.

From the General Assembly's website: https://www.ilga.gov/Legislation/BillStatus?DocNum=3977&GAID...
This is proposed legislation, isn't it? Proposed bills are generally off-topic on HN; they're a dime a dozen.
I just provided a more direct link but yeah it is just proposed at this point. The age assurance part appears to be substantially similar (very similar verbiage) to the bills that have already passed in California and Colorado though so I guess we'll see it again in a few weeks or months at this point.
I can access it fine? The site loads after a quick bot check.
Same, worked with an automatic bot check, not even a captcha.
Aha, OK. I see what's going on. For reasons to do with a yak-shaving process that was required for our HN moderation software to work, I use Chromium, and it seems that requests from Chromium user-agents are blocked on that server, perhaps due to a presumption that they're bots.
But yes, as tptacek points out, proposed legislation is off-topic here, unless it's effectively certain it will pass.
