Who this affects: This bill mainly affects parents and minors first, because it changes how kids and teens get apps and make purchases. Large app stores would have to build the age-check and parent-link system. App developers would have to plug into that system and follow new rules on consent, age data, and app changes. State attorneys general and the FTC would get enforcement roles.
Why this matters: This bill could change the basic way kids and teens get access to apps in the United States. Instead of leaving age checks and parental controls mostly to each app, it would push that job up to big app stores. That could give parents clearer information and one common system to use. It could also mean more age checks, more data handling, and more friction for families and companies, depending on how the rules are written and carried out.
