What this law does

Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.

This measure did not pass and binds nobody; what follows is what it would have required. As passed by the House 44-6 on March 5, 2026, it would have barred a social media platform from creating an account for a user under 14 without parental consent, would have required parental consent for a 14 or 15 year old user, and would have required an anonymous age-verification option on an adult content website.

A Senate committee reported it amended on March 25, 2026 and Senate Rules found it proper for consideration on April 7, 2026, but the bill's own Arizona Legislature bill-overview record shows no Senate third reading, no transmittal to the House for concurrence, no transmittal to the Governor, and no chapter assignment, and the 57th Legislature's second regular session adjourned Sine Die on June 13, 2026 with the bill never chaptered.
