This bill amends the heading of Chapter 20-A of Title 51 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes from "Protection of Children's Internet Data" to "Online Protections for Minors" and establishes a new Part II that sets forth definitions and requirements for application stores and developers regarding the use of applications by minors. It outlines the responsibilities of application store providers, including age verification processes, obtaining parental consent, and protecting personal data, while also detailing penalties for non-compliance and enforcement mechanisms. The bill repeals Act No. 481 of the 2025 Regular Session, introducing new definitions of age categories and obligations for developers to enforce age-related restrictions.

Additionally, the bill clarifies the responsibilities and liabilities of developers and application store providers concerning age verification and content disclosure. It allows primary account holders to attest to the age of associated subaccounts and provides protections against liability for developers and application store providers who demonstrate compliance with relevant laws. Enforcement mechanisms include civil actions by the attorney general for violations, with penalties of up to ten thousand dollars per violation, and a requirement for written notice and a cure period before enforcement actions. The bill also ensures that fines collected will support consumer protection efforts and includes severability provisions to maintain the enforceability of remaining sections if any part is invalidated. Various sections of the Act will take effect immediately upon the governor's signature or on July 1, 2027.
