After having read the bill I can confidently say it will likely not pass and if it does pass it will be shot down by the courts before it goes into effect.
In the quick read I made this bill doesn?t appear to apply to free porn at all. In order for it to apply to your situation you have to be selling the subscription yourself or be some type of payment processor. If you?re an affiliate or a Tube site that doesn?t directly sell the membership the law would not apply. So the pay site tour itself would not be allowed to show trailers or pictures but the affiliate could show anything they wanted and the tube site could show the entire movie. It would actually strengthen the affiliate model IMO. I suppose it would impact tube sites that are selling premium memberships as they would have to eliminate those if they wanted to keep giving free porn away.
The bill is a lot different than the old COPA bill in that it requires you the site owner to come up with a foolproof way to conduct age verification. The system you devise must be able to pass an independent audit (that you pay for) and upon passing the audit you would receive a certificate which you could show to your payment processers to prove that you?re in compliance.
