Bill > AB1856

This bill makes minor, nonsubstantive changes to existing California law that requires operating system providers, such as those who make phone or computer software, to provide a way for account holders to input a user's birth date or age when setting up a device. This information is then used to send a signal to applications available in app stores, indicating the user's age bracket (e.g., under 13, 13-15, 16-17, or 18 and over). The existing law, which takes effect in 2027, also outlines how app developers should use these age signals and what information they can request and share, aiming to protect consumers by ensuring age-appropriate content and services.
