Bill Summary
AN ACT concerning video programming; relating to advertisement volume; prohibiting certain video streaming services from transmitting commercial advertisements with the audio louder than that of the main video streaming content in which such advertisement is placed.
AI Summary
This bill, effective July 1, 2026, prohibits video streaming services that operate in Kansas from transmitting commercial advertisements with audio that is louder than the main video content they are placed within, aligning with regulations established by the federal government for television broadcasters and cable operators under the Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation Act. The bill defines "video streaming service" as an entity providing video programming or content directly to consumers via the internet, but it excludes services already regulated as cable operators, television broadcasters, or multichannel video programming distributors, as well as those that offer video content without advertisements. Importantly, this legislation does not grant individuals the right to sue for violations.
