Louisiana
Both chambers of Louisiana’s legislature voted unanimously in favor of HB61, a new bill that would force online platforms to obtain parental consent before offering services to users under the age of 18. Like the Texas law, Louisiana’s version is written broadly to wrap up social media companies, video game makers, and really any other online company that requires users to create accounts in order to share text, photos or videos. The bill, which awaits Governor John Bel Edward’s signature to become law, would also let parents cancel terms of service contracts of minors who already created online accounts prior to the bill’s passage.
