As MLC’s Communications and Social Media Manager, Liz Gullett keeps clients informed and up-to-date on the goings on in Lansing and the Capitol.

This week, legislation named the Kids Over Click package was passed by the Michigan Senate. The bills address the use of social media and certain technologies by minors.

Key Points:

    • SBs 757 – 760 were introduced by Senators Darrin Camilleri (D-Trenton), Kevin Hertel (D-St. Clair Shores), and Dayna Polehanki (D-Livonia).
    • It creates the Stop Addictive Feeds Exploitation (SAFE) For Kids Act, which would prohibit social media platforms from providing personal data-driven feeds to minors unless parental consent is given.
    • It would also create the Kids Code Act, mandating stricter data privacy and safety settings for minors on digital platforms, and giving parents more control over their children’s online accounts.
    • Lastly, it creates the Leading Ethical AI Development (LEAD) for Kids Act, which would mandate that chatbots are inaccessible to children.

The bill package was referred to the House Communications and Technology Committee for consideration.
