HB 1619 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Walker Montgomery Protecting Children Online Act; bring forward code sections related to.

This procedural bill reorganized existing Mississippi Code sections (45-38-1 through 45-38-13) that form the "Walker Montgomery Protecting Children Online Act" into a new section numbering system. It did not create new requirements but moved the current rules governing digital services to updated code sections. The law would have required digital service providers to verify users' ages, obtain parental consent for minors, limit data collection for minors, and restrict certain practices like targeted ads with harmful material. The bill died in committee in February 2026 and was never enacted.
