LB1175

Nebraska LB1175 amends the Parental Rights in Social Media Act to allow civil actions for damages and relief against social media companies.

Nebraska LB1175 modifies the Parental Rights in Social Media Act by allowing aggrieved individuals to bring civil actions against social media companies for violations. The bill defines social media platforms as products for product liability actions and allows for recovery of actual damages, including for injury, self-harm, addiction, and sexual exploitation. It also permits the recovery of reasonable attorney's fees and litigation costs. The bill repeals the original section 86-1704 and replaces it with new provisions for civil actions.
