Urges Congress and President of US to enact "Kids Online Safety Act."
This is a procedural resolution (not a bill), not a law. It urges Congress and the President to enact the federal "Kids Online Safety Act" (KOSA), which would require social media platforms to prevent addictive design features, expand parental controls, and block harmful content for minors. The resolution directly affects children and teens (ages 8-17) by advocating for federal policy changes to address mental health concerns linked to social media use. It has no binding effect and serves only as a symbolic request to federal lawmakers.
