What AB 1700 does, verified March 24, 2026
This bill establishes the e-safety commission to oversee online safety, particularly for youth. The commission will develop guidelines for age verification and review technologies used to ensure compliance. It will also investigate noncompliance and report on its activities annually. The bill requires operating system providers to provide an accessible interface at account setup that asks users to indicate their age, which will help provide a signal about the user's age bracket to available applications. The goal is to promote online safety and uniformity in age verification for software applications.
