Minors appearing in Internet content creation provided compensation.
This bill establishes new rules requiring creators to pay minors who appear in their compensated online videos, with the money placed in a trust account until the minor turns 18. It defines "content creation" as video shared for pay and sets specific criteria, such as a 30 percent appearance threshold, to determine when a minor is officially working in this field. Under the law, creators must keep detailed records of a minor's earnings and viewing statistics, while minors under 14 must receive all their share of the compensation. The legislation also clarifies that incidental appearances in public events like sports games do not trigger these payment requirements.
