House Bill No. by Representative Freeman aims to enhance awareness regarding social media usage by establishing specific notification requirements for social media platforms. The bill enacts Chapter 20-B of Title 51 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes, which includes definitions for terms such as "account holder," "educational entity," "interactive computer service," "post," "social media company," "social media platform," and "user." It mandates that social media platforms implement a function that displays a pop-up or full-screen notification to users after they have spent a cumulative hour on the platform within a 24-hour period. This notification must provide information about the potential impacts of social media engagement on users' mental and physical health.

Additionally, the bill requires that the notification function be repeated at least every 30 minutes after the initial alert. The information provided must be supported by data from peer-reviewed scholarly articles or sources from the Louisiana Department of Health's office of public health. Furthermore, the office of public health is tasked with annually promulgating this information and making it available on its webpage by January 15th of each year.
