Bill > SF1807

This bill requires social media platforms to implement two key mental health protection measures: First, platforms must display a conspicuous mental health warning label each time a user accesses the platform, which warns about potential negative mental health impacts and provides crisis resources like the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. The warning label cannot be hidden in terms of service, must be prominently displayed, and can only be dismissed when the user exits the platform or explicitly acknowledges the potential risks. Second, platforms must include a pop-up timer notification that appears at least every 30 minutes during active use, informing users about their total time on the platform that day. Users can optionally deactivate or customize the timer, but the maximum time between notifications cannot exceed 60 minutes. The commissioner of health, in consultation with the commissioner of commerce, will develop guidelines for these warning labels based on current evidence about social media's mental health impacts. The bill is set to become effective on July 1, 2025, and grants the attorney general enforcement authority to investigate potential violations, though it does not create a private right of action for individuals harmed by non-compliance.
