An Act establishing a special legislative commission to study the use of IVRs and other strategies by social media platforms

This bill establishes a special commission to study how social media platforms use intermittent variable rewards (like unpredictable likes or notifications) and other tactics to influence user behavior, particularly focusing on their impact on adolescents. The commission, composed of legislative leaders and state officials (including mental health and public health representatives), will examine whether these strategies are psychologically manipulative. It must submit a report with findings and recommendations to both legislative chambers within one year of the bill's passage. The bill itself does not enact new laws or regulations but creates a study group to gather information on this specific issue.
