The need to submit a government-issued ID to view online porn could expand to several states outside Louisiana due to copycat legislation.

Lawmakers in seven US states have introduced “virtually identical” bills to require age verification on porn sites, according to the Free Speech Coalition, an adult entertainment trade group.

Vice also spoke to the state lawmaker behind the Arkansas bill. “My hope is that we protect children and their innocence in state of Arkansas and then send a message across the country that we need something similar built into federal law as well,” said Republican State Sen. Tyler Dees. Other states considering the copyright legislation include Florida, Mississippi, and Virginia.

Louisiana's law, which came into effect this year, requires websites containing 33.3% or more pornographic content to verify the user’s age with a government-issued ID.
