TALLAHASSEE, Florida - The Florida Attorney General’s Office has formally withdrawn its legal action against payment processing company Segpay in a case connected to the state’s age verification requirements.
The lawsuit, filed earlier this year, accused Segpay of failing to comply with Florida’s age verification statute, commonly known as HB3. The law is designed to ensure that adult-oriented online services properly verify user age, with potential penalties reaching up to $50,000 per violation.
On Monday, representatives from both the Attorney General’s Office and Segpay submitted a joint agreement requesting the voluntary dismissal of all claims against the company. The court accepted the filing, effectively ending the case.
Segpay was represented by attorneys Corey Silverstein and Lawrence Walters. Silverstein welcomed the resolution, noting that discussions with state officials helped clarify the company’s role and actions.
According to Silverstein, the matter was resolved after both sides reviewed the relevant facts and reached a mutual understanding, allowing the case to conclude without further litigation.
While the claims against Segpay have now been dismissed, the broader enforcement action related to HB3 is not over. A separate lawsuit involving another defendant remains active and continues to move forward through the Florida court system.
