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 identified as covered minors, 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 establishes nondiscrimination provisions to ensure that operators do not penalize users for complying 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 to facilitate public complaints regarding compliance with the chapter. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
