video content; minors; employment; compensation
HB 2192 requires content creators (parents/guardians producing compensated video content featuring minors) to pay minors compensation when specific thresholds are met: the minor appears in at least 30% of the creator's compensated content over 30 days, and the content generates at least $0.10 per view or $15,000 in annual earnings. The bill mandates creators to deposit earnings into a trust account for the minor until age 18, maintain detailed records of minor appearances and earnings for 10 years after the minor turns 21, and provide regular access to these records. It directly affects minors under 18 featured in online content and their guardians who create such content for compensation. The law also allows minors to request removal of their identifiable information from content.
