Summary

The bill would force app‑store operators to confirm a user’s age, require anyone under 18 to have a linked parent account, and obtain verifiable parental consent for minors to download apps, purchase apps, or make in‑app purchases. It also mandates stores to share age‑category information with developers, alert users to major app changes, and safeguard verification data. The aim is to give parents more control over children’s digital app use.
