The proposed bill amends Title 18 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes by adding a new chapter, CHAPTER 63A, focused on children's online safety. This chapter establishes various provisions aimed at protecting minors under 18 years of age who use online platforms. Key components include mandatory age verification for operators of covered platforms, default privacy settings that restrict communication and visibility for users not connected to a covered minor, and requirements for parental approval for new connections and financial transactions involving minors. Additionally, the bill prohibits the use of "dark patterns" that could undermine user autonomy and mandates that operators do not discriminate against users based on compliance with these new regulations.

The bill also grants the Attorney General the authority to create rules and regulations to enforce these provisions, including guidelines for age verification methods and accuracy standards. Civil actions can be initiated by the Attorney General to address violations, with potential remedies including injunctions, restitution, and civil penalties. A publicly accessible website will be maintained for the public to report compliance issues. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
