HB1016

Oklahoma HB1016 mandates compensation for minors in internet content, requires trust accounts for earnings, and allows content removal requests.

Oklahoma HB1016 establishes that minors engaged in content creation must be compensated by content creators. If at least 30% of a content creator's video content includes a minor, the creator must set aside earnings in a trust account for the minor until they reach the age of majority. The bill also mandates that content featuring minors can be removed from online platforms upon request by the minor or an adult whose likeness appears in the content. Additionally, it allows for civil action by the minor if records are not maintained, and permits the Attorney General to enforce the act.
