Introduced

To revise the <a href="http://www.michiganvotes.org/2003-SB-1025">state child protection registry</a> (which is similar to a “do not call” list intended to regulate electronic mail advertisements of adult material or products sent to children) to require a person who desired to send an e-mail message prohibited under the registry law to obtain prior consent from an age-verified adult; and increase from 0.03 cents to three cents the maximum amount of the fee for checking each e-mail address against the registry.

Substitute offered
by
To adopt a version of the bill that does not include the provision establishing that the registry will not become operational unless it is verified that the contact point information of minors cannot be acquired through it for an illegal purpose, and which also makes some technical revisions.
The substitute passed by voice vote
Amendment offered
by
To provide exemptions to the bill's definition of prohibited "contact points" for cases in which an "age verified adult" has access to one of the listed contact points and consents to receive a message.
The amendment failed by voice vote
Amendment offered
by
To require third party audits to be performed annually to determine whether the registry has sufficient security measures in effect to prevent it from being used to acquire the "contact point" information of minors for an illegal purpose, such as by child molesters. This relates to concerns that rather than protecting children the registry will make it possible for criminals to acquire e-mail addresses that are certified as being those of children.
