The proposed bill, titled the "Regulating Access to Social Media Companies by Minors Act," aims to restrict access to social media platforms for individuals under the age of 18. Specifically, it prohibits social media companies from allowing anyone under 16 years old to view or access their platforms or create accounts. For individuals aged 16 to 17, access is permitted only with the express written consent of a parent or legal guardian. The bill defines "social media company" and "social media platform," clarifying the types of services that fall under these definitions.

In the event of a violation of this act, the bill empowers the attorney general to initiate civil actions against the offending social media companies, imposing a significant penalty of $25,000 per day for each day the violation occurs. This legislative measure seeks to enhance the protection of minors in the digital space by ensuring that parental consent is required for older teens and that younger children are completely restricted from accessing social media platforms.
