The Parents Decide Act would require operating system providers to collect each user’s date of birth to set up an account and use an operating system. For users under 18, a parent or legal guardian would have to verify the birth date. The bill would also require providers to let app developers access information needed to check app users’ ages. The Federal Trade Commission would issue rules, enforce the requirements, and report to Congress. The rules and requirements would take effect one year after enactment.
If you use an operating system, you would have to provide your birth date. If you are under 18, your parent or legal guardian would need to verify it. Rules would address how parents or guardians can control what minors access on a device and how providers protect birth-date information.
The bill does not specify costs or funding.
