General Assembly Committee Bill No. 6385, introduced in the January Session of 2023, addresses the protocol for state agency complaints regarding individuals or groups to social media platforms. The bill defines key terms such as "state agency," "state employee," "state elected official," and "social media platform." It stipulates that no state employee or elected official can contact a social media platform to lodge a complaint against an individual or group's content without first providing the concerned party with a public hearing and at least 48 hours' notice, unless an emergency necessitates a quicker response.

Furthermore, the bill allows individuals or groups who have been blocked or restricted on a social media platform due to a state complaint to appeal the restriction to the Superior Court. The court has the authority to enjoin the social media platform from maintaining the block or restriction if it finds that the individual's or group's right to free speech has been infringed. The act is set to be effective from October 1, 2023, and does not underline the entire text of the new section as it is entirely new. The purpose of the bill is to ensure that state agencies conduct a hearing before complaining about social media content and to provide a means for individuals or groups to appeal any adverse decisions resulting from such complaints.
