Senate Bill 1469 aims to regulate the involvement of minors in online content creation in Tennessee. It introduces a new part to the Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically addressing the definitions and responsibilities of content creators, account holders, and minors. The bill stipulates that minors under the age of fourteen are prohibited from engaging in content creation for compensation, while those aged fourteen to eighteen can create and publish their own content, receiving all proceeds. Content creators who feature minors must maintain detailed records and set aside earnings in a trust account for the minor's benefit until they reach eighteen. Additionally, the bill mandates that video content featuring minors must be removed upon request from the minor or an adult who was a minor at the time the content was created.

The legislation also establishes civil penalties for violations, including a $2,000 fine for content creators or parents who allow minors under fourteen to engage in content creation. It emphasizes that any waivers or limitations of the protections provided under this part are void and unenforceable. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, ensuring that the rights and welfare of minors involved in online content creation are safeguarded.
