AI chatbot companies would have to verify users’ ages before giving access. Minors could not use AI companion chatbots, and all chatbots would have to clearly say they are AI, not people or licensed professionals.
Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
GUARD Act is a Senate bill waiting for floor action. The latest recorded action: Placed on Senate Legislative Calendar under General Orders. Calendar No. 406.
Latest action on S. 3062: Placed on Senate Legislative Calendar under General Orders. Calendar No. 406.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects AI chatbot companies, minors, and people who use chatbots in the United States. Companies would need to add accounts, age checks, data protections, and repeated notices. Minors would lose access to AI companion chatbots after age checks identify them as under 18. Adults would also feel the change because they would need to prove their age before using covered chatbot services.
Why this matters: This bill matters because it would change how people, especially children and teens, can use AI chatbots. It tries to reduce minors’ exposure to sexual content, grooming, self-harm, and violent prompts from AI systems. It could also make online services collect more sensitive age-check information from all users. The real impact would depend on how companies build these checks and how the Justice Department writes and enforces the rules.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
