Requires social media networks to verify the age of account holders
This bill requires social media platforms to verify the age of all account holders (new and existing) using a third-party vendor. Social media networks must complete verification within 30 days of account creation for new users or within 30 days of a user's first access attempt after the law takes effect for existing accounts. If verification isn't completed within the timeframe, platforms must deny access to the account until it's resolved. The Consumer Protection Division will establish specific verification methods, data security standards, and rules for handling age-related information collected during compliance.
