AR 115 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Urges Congress and President of US to enact "Kids Online Safety Act."

This is a New Jersey Assembly Resolution (AR 115), not a binding bill. It urges Congress and the President to pass the "Kids Online Safety Act" (proposed by Senator Blumenthal). The resolution cites research linking social media use to rising teen mental health issues (like 36.7% of adolescents reporting sadness/hopelessness) and describes the proposed law as requiring social media platforms to prevent addictive design, enhance data safety for minors, expand parental controls, and block harmful content. The resolution itself has no legal effect but formally requests federal action on this proposed legislation.
