A 4635 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Protects monetary rights and privacy of minor children featured in online video blogs.

This bill protects minor children (under 18) featured in online video content created by their families. It requires online content creators to place earnings from videos featuring a minor’s likeness or name into a court-administered trust if the minor appears in at least 30% of compensated content (measured by time in the video) or if the video promotes products/services tied to the minor. The trust, managed until the child turns 18, ensures they gain full access to these funds upon reaching adulthood. The bill also grants minors aged 18+ the right to request permanent deletion of their content from platforms or creators’ accounts. It amends existing law to redirect such earnings from parents to the minor’s trust, overriding prior parental entitlement rules.
