Should it pass, the law — proposed through House Bill 1627(Opens in a new tab), titled "Protecting the interests of minor children featured on for-profit family vlogs" — would ensure that children featured in online content, such as family vlogs, would receive appropriate compensation for any profit-generating media. It requires parents to funnel a portion of content revenue into a separate fund for children to access when they are adults. The law also would enshrine a right to privacy for these children once they've reached legal adult status, allowing them to petition to have videos and other content deleted.
