How does the violation timeline reset under Act 230?

Under Act 230, the violation timeline resets after a warning is issued. This means that when an individual or entity receives a warning, any previous violations that may have been documented are effectively nullified for the purpose of further penalties or actions. This aspect of the law is designed to encourage compliance and provide an opportunity for correction without imposing immediate severe penalties.

Receiving a warning serves as a formal notice that allows the individual or entity to correct behaviors or practices that may have been in violation of the regulations. After this warning, the timeline for any new violations begins anew, which reflects the intent of promoting adherence to rules and regulations in the industry. Each renewal of a license, a new work project, or the passage of a calendar year does not reset the violation timeline under this Act; it specifically hinges on the issuance of a warning.
