La., Conn. Lawmakers Pass Kids' Internet Bills

The Louisiana House voted 76-18 to pass a kids’ social media bill Monday. The Senate previously passed SB-162 (see 2305180042), but must vote again to concur with House edits. The bill would require social media companies to verify the age of users, and collect parental approval for minors, before allowing users to get accounts. Friday in Connecticut, the legislature passed a bill (SB-3) to set privacy rules for personal data of children under 18 and for consumer health information. The amendment to last year’s Connecticut Data Privacy Act will go to Gov. Ned Lamont (D).
