Bill > AB1856

This bill modifies existing California law, specifically the Digital Age Assurance Act, to update requirements for age verification signals for software applications and online services. It broadens the scope of who receives age signals from operating system providers, now including application developers, browser providers, and internet website operators, not just covered application stores. The bill also refines the definition of "user" to refer to the primary user of a device, rather than specifically a child, and clarifies that a developer or website operator receiving an age signal is deemed to have actual knowledge of the user's age range only for the specific device accessed, not across all platforms. Additionally, it adjusts the definition of "developer" and clarifies that the age verification requirements apply when an operating system has an account setup feature.
