§ 1349.101.

(A) The attorney general may bring a civil action against an organization that sells,

delivers, furnishes, disseminates, provides, exhibits, or presents any material or

performance that is obscene or harmful to juveniles on the internet that fails to

comply with the requirements under divisions (B)(1) or (2) or (C)(1) or (2) of section

1349.10 of the Revised Code and as a result of that failure a minor gains access to

the material or performance.  Before initiating such an enforcement action, the attorney general shall provide

written notice to the organization identifying and explaining the basis for each instance

of alleged violation. (B) Except as otherwise provided in division (D) of this section, the attorney general

shall not commence an enforcement action if the organization, within forty-five days

after notice of the alleged violation is sent, does both of the following: (1) Cures all violations described in the notice: (2) Provides the attorney general with a written statement indicating that the violations

are cured and agreeing to refrain from further noncompliance of the requirements under

divisions (B)(1) or (2) or (C)(1) or (2) of section 1349.10 of the Revised Code. (C) If the organization does not timely respond or continues to fail to comply with the

requirements under divisions (B)(1) or (2) or (C)(1) or (2) of section 1349.10 of

the Revised Code after receiving the notice, the attorney general may initiate the

enforcement action and seek injunctive relief. (D) Division (B) of this section does not apply if the organization fails to timely comply

with all of the requirements described in the notice or commits subsequent violations

of the same type after curing the initial violation under that division.  Notwithstanding division (C) of this section, if an organization commits a subsequent

violation of the same type after reporting that the initial violation is cured, the

attorney general may bring a civil action at any time after sending notice of the

violation under division (A) of this section. (E) Nothing in this section shall be construed to provide a private right of action.  The attorney general has the exclusive authority to enforce this section.
