This bill would require app stores and app developers to verify the ages of their users and get parental consent before allowing minors to create accounts. It also requires them to notify parents and users about significant changes and sets rules for how age verification data must be handled. Parents or guardians could take legal action if these rules are violated, and the Attorney General's Office would oversee and set standards for how age verification works. Who it may affect: parents and guardians of minors, children and teenagers who use apps, app store providers, and app developers.
