A bill that would require internet retailers to check the ages of customers for certain items cleared a key legislative hurdle at the California Capitol Tuesday. AB 2511 would require online sellers to make a "reasonable" effort to verify ages when customers are purchasing items that children are forbidden from buying in brick-and-mortar stores. The bill was prompted by a KCRA 3 investigation, which revealed how children could buy weapons on Amazon.com by using a pre-paid credit card and without age verification.
