First in the nation social media age verification law, signed March 2023. Would have required social media companies to verify the age of all Utah account holders, obtain parental consent for minors, impose a default curfew on minor accounts, and give parents access to minor accounts. Its effective date was postponed from March 1, 2024 to October 1, 2024, and the legislature repealed and replaced it in March 2024 with SB 194 and HB 464 before it was enforced.
