AI Summary
This bill establishes comprehensive protections for minors using mobile applications and digital platforms, creating new legal requirements for both application store providers and developers. The legislation defines detailed age categories (children, younger teenagers, older teenagers) and mandates strict age verification and parental consent processes. Application store providers must request age information when users create accounts, verify ages using reliable methods, and require minor accounts to be affiliated with a parent account. Developers must also verify user ages and obtain verifiable parental consent before allowing minors to download or make purchases within applications. The bill requires disclosure of data collection practices, content ratings, and significant application changes to parents. Developers and application stores are prohibited from enforcing contracts against minors without parental consent and from misrepresenting information. The attorney general is empowered to enforce these provisions, with potential civil fines up to $10,000 per violation. Notably, the law provides a 45-day cure period for initial violations, allowing businesses an opportunity to address compliance issues before facing legal action. The legislation is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, and aims to enhance online safety and privacy protections for minors by creating more transparent and controlled digital environments.
