S 4669 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires app stores to verify age of person creating account.

S 4669 requires app stores operating in New Jersey to verify the age of users creating accounts. If a user is under 18 (defined as a "minor" in the bill), the app store must link the account to a parent account and obtain verifiable parental consent before allowing the minor to download apps, purchase apps, or make in-app purchases. The bill defines "verifiable parental consent" as authorization from an adult after clear disclosure about app content and data collection practices. App stores must protect age verification data using industry-standard security and notify parents of significant app changes affecting minors, with violations considered consumer fraud allowing legal action for damages up to $1,000 per violation.
