In Utah, the age verification law for adult websites is primarily established by Senate Bill 287 (SB287), enacted in 2023. This law requires adult websites to implement age verification measures to restrict access to users under the age of 18. The legislation was subsequently strengthened by House Bill 287 (HB287) in 2024, which expanded requirements and increased enforcement mechanisms to further protect minors from accessing explicit content online.
