create requirements for age verification and parental consent for application stores and to provide a penalty therefor.

Summary

The bill creates a new chapter in South Dakota law that forces application‑store providers to confirm a user’s age, link minor accounts to a verified parent account, and get clear parental consent before a minor can download, install, or purchase apps. It also sets duties for developers, defines penalties for violations, and allows harmed minors or parents to sue. The measure was introduced in the House, passed the Senate State Affairs Committee, but ultimately failed.
