Maddy summaryThis bill updates Pennsylvania's Child Labor Act to include new definitions for "digital content" and "online platforms," specifically covering activities like vlogging, social media posting, and blogging. It clarifies that minors working on such content are considered to be in a performance if their participation is substantial and they receive payment, such as ad revenue or sponsorships, while excluding small prizes or expense reimbursements.

These changes aim to regulate the employment of minors in modern online media environments while maintaining existing labor protections.
