The resolution requests the Joint Committee on Government and Finance to conduct a comprehensive study on implementing parental consent measures for software applications downloaded by children under 18. It highlights the risks associated with children accessing inappropriate content and unsafe online interactions without parental oversight, especially given the rapid growth of mobile devices and application stores. The resolution emphasizes the need for device manufacturers and application stores to take proactive steps, such as verifying the age of users and requiring parental consent before allowing downloads, to create a safer digital environment for children.

Additionally, the resolution calls for standardized procedures across manufacturers and application stores to ensure consistency in age verification and parental consent processes. It suggests that developers should incorporate features that allow parents to manage their children's app usage effectively. The Attorney General would be responsible for enforcing these procedures, and any resulting legislation should be framed around the concepts outlined in HB2609. The findings and recommendations from this study are to be reported to the Regular Session of the Legislature in 2026.
