COMMERCIAL REGULATIONS: Provides relative to minors' use of applications (EN SEE FISC NOTE SG RV)

Age categories were redefined to create three specific groups: children under 13, younger teenagers aged 13-16, and older teenagers aged 16-18, replacing a single 'minor' definition.

New requirements were added for application store providers to provide specific parental consent disclosures, including age ratings, content descriptions, and data collection methods, before obtaining consent from parents.

The bill's structure was modified to include specific enforcement provisions and related matters, replacing the previous enforcement section with a broader scope of regulatory oversight.

The list of sponsoring representatives was removed, indicating this is the original draft text rather than the final enrolled version.

Age categories were redefined into four specific tiers: 'Child' (under 13), 'Younger Teenager' (13-15), 'Older Teenager' (16-17), and 'Adult' (18+), replacing broader or less distinct previous definitions.

The definition of 'minor' was clarified to explicitly exclude individuals who are emancipated or married.

The definition of 'mobile device' was expanded to include specific technical capabilities like cellular connectivity, internet access, and mobile operating systems.

The definition of 'application' was broadened from just software on a mobile device to include any software designed to run on a connected device or mobile device.

The bill's structure was reorganized, moving the enacted text to Part II of Chapter 20-A and updating the chapter title to focus on 'Protection of Children on Applications'.

Added 15 new representatives to the list of bill sponsors, indicating broader legislative support.

Reorganized the chapter title and section numbering to separate 'Protections for Minors' from 'Protection of Children's Internet Data'.

Updated the definition of 'minor' to explicitly state that status is determined through the provider's age verification methods and is not emancipated or married.

Expanded the list of information providers must disclose to parents before obtaining consent to include content descriptions in addition to age ratings.
