We have seen a trend lately where state governments are imposing fines on retailers for selling violent video games to minors. The state of Minnesota is doing things a little differently.
The Minnesota House of Representatives has voted to impose fines on minors caught renting or buying a video game rated AO for Adults Only or M for Mature. The maximum fine is $25.
Representative Jeff Johnson says he proposed the bill to control games that include “absolutely disgusting stuff.”
“I don’t want to grandstand; I actually want to change the law…and give the attorney general a good fighting chance of winning,” Johnson told the Star Tribune.
If the bill is passed by the governor, it will become law on August 1, 2006.
