HB 750: CONSUMERS/PROTECTION: Provides for cancellation of automatic renewal subscriptions

HB 750, the "Click-to-Cancel Act," requires businesses in Louisiana to clearly disclose automatic renewal terms before consumers sign up for subscriptions and provide an easy way to cancel. It directly affects consumers who subscribe to services (like streaming or software) and businesses offering those subscriptions. Key provisions mandate that businesses: (1) show all renewal details (including charges and cancellation policy) in clear, visible language before payment; (2) give a simple cancellation method as easy as signing up; and (3) keep records of consumer consent for at least three years. The law aims to prevent hidden charges and make it straightforward for consumers to stop recurring payments.

HB 134: CONTRACTS: Provides relative to material harmful to minors (EN SEE FISC NOTE SG EX)

HB 134 requires interactive computer services (like social media platforms) that create accounts for minors to stop delivering or displaying material defined as harmful to minors (per existing law) and to avoid using algorithms to promote such content to minors. It prohibits platforms from creating or developing harmful material for minors' accounts and bans algorithmic amplification of such content. Violations can result in civil fines up to $10,000 per incident, but platforms get 45 days to fix issues before enforcement begins. Fines collected fund consumer protection efforts, and the law takes effect January 1, 2027.

HB 427: CONTRACTS: Provides relative to the duty of care for online platforms that contract with minors

HB 427, the "Kids Online Protection and Anti-Grooming Act," requires online platforms (like social media and video games) that contract with minors under 16 in Louisiana to prioritize minors' privacy. It mandates two key changes: setting minor accounts to private by default (visible only to connected users) and alerting legal guardians if minors encounter sexually explicit material. The bill directly affects platforms operating in Louisiana with minor users, defining "minor" as anyone under 16 not emancipated or married. These provisions aim to reduce exposure to harmful content and strengthen parental oversight through default settings and notification systems.

SB 110 makes it illegal to use an image of a child under 17 to train artificial intelligence models with the intent of generating child sexual abuse materials (CSAM).

HB 1071: PUBLIC RECORDS: Provides for an exception to the Public Records Law for records of aerospace facilities or activities

This bill creates a new exception to Louisiana's Public Records Law, allowing certain aerospace-related records to be kept confidential. It directly affects entities that maintain records for aerospace facilities or activities, such as companies or organizations involved in space or aviation operations. The law specifies that records like blueprints, technical data, and security information must be confidential if the entity handling them either follows federal arms export regulations or holds a contract with the U.S. Department of Defense or intelligence agencies. Additionally, the bill prohibits government officials from inspecting, copying, or reproducing these confidential records. The changes take effect once the governor signs the bill or if it becomes law without a signature.

SB 503: COMMERCIAL REGULATIONS: Creates the Minor Exploitation Prevention Act. (8/1/28)

SB 503 establishes the Minor Exploitation Prevention Act to regulate how mobile applications are distributed and used by minors in Louisiana. The law requires app stores to verify user ages and allows developers of apps intended for adults to request age signals from these platforms to restrict access to younger users. App developers must also avoid showing personalized ads to minors and provide tools for parents to supervise their children's usage. While the bill places liability on developers for correctly identifying their apps as adult-only, it protects app stores from legal responsibility if they act in good faith regarding age verification.
