California · Assembly · 2025–2026 Regular Session · last verified November 24, 2025

What AB 56 does, verified November 24, 2025

This bill requires social media platforms to display a warning label to users each day they access the platform, and after every 3 hours of cumulative active use, and then at least once per hour thereafter. The warning label must be a black box warning and will be displayed to certain users, including minors. The provisions of the bill will not be used to create a private right of action, and the bill will take effect on January 1, 2027. If any part of the bill is found to be unconstitutional, the remaining parts will still be enforced.
