This bill establishes new legal provisions regarding social media companies and their impact on minors' mental health. It defines key terms such as "algorithmically curated," "excessive use," and "social media company," and allows minors or their guardians to bring a cause of action against these companies for adverse mental health outcomes linked to excessive use of algorithmically curated services. To recover damages, plaintiffs must demonstrate a diagnosis from a licensed mental health provider and a causal link between the minor's excessive use and the adverse outcome. The bill also introduces a rebuttable presumption favoring the plaintiff unless the social media company can prove compliance with specific criteria, such as limiting usage time and requiring parental consent.

Additionally, the bill prohibits social media companies from being held liable for user-generated content and disallows any waivers or limitations on rights provided under this section. It ensures that any protections or requirements established by the bill cannot be waived or limited by contract. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2026.
