CONTRACTS: Provides relative to material harmful to minors (EN SEE FISC NOTE SG EX)
HB 134 requires interactive computer services (like social media platforms) that create accounts for minors to stop delivering or displaying material defined as harmful to minors (per existing law) and to avoid using algorithms to promote such content to minors. It prohibits platforms from creating or developing harmful material for minors' accounts and bans algorithmic amplification of such content. Violations can result in civil fines up to $10,000 per incident, but platforms get 45 days to fix issues before enforcement begins. Fines collected fund consumer protection efforts, and the law takes effect January 1, 2027.

MINOR
The enrolled version of HB 134 removes a key prohibition that would have banned interactive computer services from using algorithmic systems to select, recommend, prioritize, or amplify material harmful to minors for display to minor accounts. The bill now only prohibits delivering or displaying material harmful to minors that was created or developed by the service itself. All enforcement provisions (fines, notice-and-cure process, attorney general authority) remain unchanged.
SCOPE
Removed the prohibition on using an algorithmic system to select, recommend, prioritize, or amplify material harmful to minors for delivery or display to a minor account. This was originally subsection B(2) and is the most significant policy change in the bill.
Subsection B was restructured from a two-part prohibition (self-created content plus algorithmic amplification) into a single prohibition covering only self-created or self-developed material harmful to minors shown to minor accounts.
TECHNICAL
Added Representative Edmonston as co-sponsor of the bill.
