Ask HN: Are you updating your app to comply with Texas SB2420 age verification?

I just received a email from google to developers stating Texas passed SB420.

From google

>We had previously announced Play Age Signals API (beta) to help you meet your obligations. Play Age Signals API version 0.0.3 is ready for your integration now. In the coming weeks, Google Play will require age verification for new users in Texas and the API will start returning age signals for eligible Texas users.

Does this mean I can't distribute to Texas unless I implement this into my application?

I think I will probably just end up not distributing to Texas I do not support this at all.
