Minnesota Age-Appropriate Design Code Act establishment

This bill establishes the Minnesota Age-Appropriate Design Code Act, which requires businesses that create online products accessible to children to prioritize children's privacy, safety, and well-being over commercial interests. The law applies to any business developing online services that children are reasonably likely to access, including those targeting specific age groups from infancy through late adolescence. Companies must conduct data protection impact assessments and design products that avoid foreseeable physical, financial, or psychological harm to children, while also preventing discriminatory practices. The attorney general will enforce these requirements, and the bill includes specific definitions for terms like "child," "consumer," and "dark patterns" to guide compliance.
