Complete·5/29/26

Louisiana HB427 amends the Kids Online Protection and Anti-Grooming Act to redefine "minor" and modify privacy settings for minors on online.

Louisiana HB427 amends the Kids Online Protection and Anti-Grooming Act, focusing on the duty of care for online platforms that contract with minors. The bill redefines "minor" to include any person under the age of 18 who is not emancipated. It also mandates that covered platforms set minor accounts to private mode, restricting visibility to only connected accounts. Additionally, the bill repeals the requirement to notify the legal representative of a minor if they are exposed to sexually explicit material, instead requiring notification if a minor is exposed to material harmful to minors.
