Summary
The SMART Kids Act requires the Surgeon General to develop and publish recommendations on how much daily screen time is appropriate for kids from birth through age 18. It aims to guide parents, schools, and health professionals toward healthier development by setting age‑specific limits and noting which types of screen use may be less harmful. The recommendations must be evidence‑informed, coordinated with an independent, conflict‑free entity, and reported to Congress within a year.
