The proposed bill aims to enhance the protection of children in Washington state when using online services and applications, particularly those deemed "addictive." It introduces a new chapter to Title 19 RCW, defining terms such as "addictive feed," "addictive internet-based service or application," and "minor." The bill mandates that operators of such services must estimate the age of users with reasonable certainty and prohibits the use of personal information collected for age estimation for any other purpose. Additionally, it establishes restrictions on sending push notifications to minors without verifiable parental consent during specified hours.

Furthermore, the bill outlines user rights, allowing individuals to limit their access to addictive feeds, control feedback visibility, and set their accounts to private mode. It clarifies that compliance with the new regulations does not shield operators from liability for any harm caused to minors' mental health. The legislation also emphasizes that violations are considered unfair or deceptive acts under the consumer protection act. If funding for the act is not provided by June 30, 2025, the act will become null and void.
