The "Child Content Creation Protection Act" is a proposed legislation in Arkansas designed to enhance protections for minors involved in content creation. It establishes a new subchapter in the Arkansas Code that defines essential terms such as "content creator," "minor," and "personal identifying information." 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 empowers minors to take civil action against content creators who do not comply with these requirements, thereby reinforcing their rights and providing avenues for legal recourse.

Additionally, the Act addresses privacy concerns by allowing minors or former minors to request the deletion or editing of content featuring them. It prohibits the financial exploitation of minors through the intentional sexualization of their images, with exceptions for lawful law enforcement activities. The legislation mandates social media platforms to develop risk-based strategies to mitigate risks associated with monetizing content featuring minors, including the implementation of policies and automated systems for identifying problematic content. Furthermore, it requires these platforms to make their content policies and best practices publicly available to inform content creators of their legal obligations and the risks of exploiting minors. The Act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
