This bill proposes to amend Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new section that establishes compensation requirements for vloggers who feature minor children in their video content. Under the new provisions, if a vlogger's compensated video content featuring a minor child meets certain viewership thresholds, the vlogger must set aside a portion of their earnings in a trust for the minor child. Specifically, the bill outlines that if only one minor child meets the criteria, they will receive ten percent of the content percentage, while if multiple children are involved, the earnings will be distributed equally among them.
Additionally, the bill introduces requirements for vloggers to maintain documentation regarding the minor children featured in their content and grants these children the right to request the deletion of videos that include their likeness once they reach adulthood. It also mandates that any contracts involving the use of a minor child's image must inform the internet platform of the child's future right to request deletion. Definitions for key terms such as "vlogger," "minor child," and "likeness" are also provided to clarify the scope of the law.
