SMART Kids Act

The SMART Kids Act directs the Surgeon General to create evidence-based guidelines on daily screen time limits for children across six specific age groups. To ensure objectivity, the Surgeon General must work with an independent expert panel that has no financial conflicts of interest before finalizing these recommendations. Once completed, the guidelines will be published online and submitted to Congress within one year of the law's enactment. This legislation does not impose new legal restrictions on families but instead establishes a federal process for generating health advice on device usage.
