This bill mandates that app store providers in New Jersey implement age verification processes for individuals creating accounts. Specifically, when a user creates an account, the app store must request and verify the user's age category. If the user is identified as a minor (under 18), the account must be linked to a parent account, and verifiable parental consent must be obtained before the minor can download apps or make purchases. The bill also requires app store providers to notify users of significant changes to apps and to protect personal age verification data through specified methods.

Additionally, developers are required to verify the age category of users and ensure that parental consent is obtained for minor accounts. They must also notify app store providers of any significant changes to their apps and utilize age category data to enforce age-related restrictions. The bill establishes that violations of its provisions constitute a violation of the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act, allowing minors or their guardians to pursue legal action for damages. Furthermore, it outlines conditions under which developers may not be held liable for violations if they relied on accurate age verification data provided by app store providers.
