Requesting the Joint Committee on Government and Finance conduct a comprehensive study parental consent measures on software applications downloaded by children under 18

HCR 101 is a concurrent resolution requesting the Joint Committee on Government and Finance to study requirements for device manufacturers and app stores to obtain parental consent before children under 18 download software applications. It would examine age verification systems, parental control features, and standardized procedures for age-based content restrictions. The study aims to inform future legislation, referencing HB2609 as a framework, and requires the committee to report findings to the 2026 legislature. This resolution does not enact new laws but seeks to evaluate potential measures for child safety on digital platforms.
