An Act relating to protecting the interests of minor children featured on for-profit family vlogs
This bill requires vloggers who monetize content featuring their minor children to set aside 20% of gross earnings from such videos into a trust for the child's benefit until they reach age 18. It applies when a video segment includes the child's likeness, name, or photo for over 30% of its duration and generates revenue exceeding $0.10 per view or meets platform compensation thresholds. Minors can later request deletion of their childhood content from platforms upon reaching adulthood, and contracts must notify platforms about these future rights. The law directly affects family vloggers earning from minor children's appearances and protects children's commercial rights in their digital footprint.
