The bill also imposes significant regulations on gaming platform providers and developers, including requirements for age verification, obtaining verifiable parental consent for minors before they can download or make in-game purchases, and notifying parents of significant changes to video games. Furthermore, it mandates that public schools provide annual, age-appropriate instruction on grooming awareness and prevention, with resources and curricula to be developed by the Department of Education and Workforce, and establishes a "Pink Alert" program for missing persons under specific risk factors.
