HB 313 — Digital Age Verification Act
HB 313, the Digital Age Verification Act, aims to establish requirements for digital platforms to verify the age of users to prevent minors from accessing content or features that are not age-appropriate. The bill is part of broader child safety efforts focusing on age verification mechanisms on online platforms. The latest legislative action indicates the bill's progress has been postponed indefinitely.
