What AB 2246 does, verified August 25, 2026

This bill would add new provisions to the California Age-Appropriate Design Code Act, requiring businesses that provide online services, products, or features likely to be accessed by children to comply with certain requirements. These requirements include prohibiting the business from profiling a child by default and using personal information for any reason other than the reason for which it was collected, except as specified. The bill would also impose civil penalties on businesses that violate these provisions, similar to existing laws.
