Sponsor: Sen. Cruz, Ted [R-TX] (R)
Latest Action

Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. Ordered to be reported with an amendment in the nature of a substitute favorably.

Summary

The bill would require any website or app that offers an AI chatbot to create a family account for users under 13 and to obtain verifiable parental consent before a 13‑to‑17‑year‑old can open an account. It also orders the removal of existing child or teen accounts that lack the required consent and deletes their personal data, while giving parents a short window to retrieve that data. The aim is to give parents control over minors’ interactions with AI and protect their privacy.
