This bill would require app stores and app developers to verify the ages of their users and get parental consent before minors can create accounts. It also sets rules about notifying parents of significant changes and protects the data collected during age verification. The Kentucky Attorney General's Office of Consumer Protection would set the standards for how age verification works, and parents could sue if the rules are violated.
