Bill > SR431

This resolution creates the Senate Impact of Social Media and Artificial Intelligence on Children and Platform Privacy Protection Study Committee, which will investigate the effects of social media and AI on children. The committee will consist of five Senate members, with two co-chairpersons (one from the majority party and one from the minority party) appointed by the Senate President. The committee's purpose is to study the conditions, needs, issues, and potential problems related to children's use of social media and artificial intelligence platforms, with a focus on privacy and safety risks. The members will be eligible to receive allowances for up to four days of work, with potential for additional days, and funds will come from Senate appropriations. The committee is required to produce a report detailing their findings and potential legislative recommendations, which must be approved by a majority vote and filed with the Secretary of the Senate. The study is motivated by concerns about manipulative design techniques in social media, potential exposure to inappropriate content, and outdated online protections for children. The committee will be abolished on December 1, 2025, after completing its research and reporting.
