The "Child Content Creation Protection Act" is a proposed legislation in Arkansas aimed at regulating the creation and monetization of content featuring minors. It introduces a new subchapter to the Arkansas Code, defining essential terms such as "content creator," "minor," and "social media platform." The Act requires content creators to maintain detailed records of minors' participation and compensation, including the establishment of a trust account for the minor's earnings until they reach adulthood. It also affirms minors' rights to receive compensation for their contributions and outlines legal recourse available to them in case of rights violations.

Additionally, the Act mandates social media platforms to provide mechanisms for minors or former minors to request the removal or editing of content featuring them. It prohibits the financial exploitation of minors through the intentional sexualization of their images while allowing exceptions for lawful law enforcement activities. The legislation emphasizes the protection of minors' privacy and rights, ensuring fair compensation and safeguarding personal information. It also requires social media platforms to develop a risk-based strategy to mitigate risks associated with monetizing content featuring minors and to make their content policies publicly available. The Act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
