Based on proposed legislation or active legislative development.
Michigan SB 190 (the Social Media Children Protection Act) was introduced on March 20, 2025 and referred to the Senate Committee on Regulatory Affairs. No further action was on record as of the May 5, 2026 review, so no new state rule is in force in Michigan today.

Why this status
Based on proposed legislation or active legislative development.
What this means
- There is no Michigan rule on minors and social media in force today — only existing federal rules and each platform's own age and consent policies apply.
- The bill, if enacted, would require parental consent before a minor could hold a social-media account — that obligation would land on the platform, not directly on parents.
- Introduction is the very first step in the legislative process. Committee action, floor votes, and the Governor's signature all still need to happen for SB 190 to become law.
What to do next
- Track SB 190 on the Michigan Legislature site for committee action, amendments, floor votes, or enrollment.
- Watch for a companion House bill — a measure with similar text could move on a parallel track and be the one that ultimately advances.
