13 | (a) The Commission shall require that all internet service | ||||||
14 | providers that provide service to customers in this State shall | ||||||
15 | comply with this Article concerning the prevention of | ||||||
16 | transmission of child pornography. | ||||||
17 | (b) The Commission shall select a nationwide law | ||||||
18 | enforcement agency to serve as a clearinghouse and compile a | ||||||
19 | continuously updated list of files known to contain child | ||||||
20 | pornography. The selected law enforcement agency shall inspect | ||||||
21 | the files and makes a judgment that the files are illegal in | ||||||
22 | their jurisdiction before adding them to the registry according | ||||||
23 | to their hash value. | ||||||

9 | hash value, is digitally identical to a file on the | ||||||
10 | registry. | ||||||

17 | movie, or document that contains or provides only a warning | ||||||
18 | screen explaining that the requested file violates this | ||||||
19 | Article. | ||||||

23 | effort to comply with this Article shall be immune from | ||||||
