COMMERCIAL REGULATIONS: Provides relative to social media use for minors
This bill establishes new rules for how social media platforms must operate when users are minors. It requires platforms to implement specific restrictions on accounts held by young people and mandates that these companies follow certain safety requirements. Additionally, the legislation outlines a process where the state attorney general can take legal action against platforms that fail to comply with these rules or engage in unfair business practices. The text also includes minor administrative changes to the bill's structure, such as renumbering sections and adjusting punctuation.
