Why this status
Based on proposed legislation or active legislative development.
What this means
- There is no Minnesota rule on social-media algorithms targeting children in force today — only existing federal rules and each platform's own age and consent policies apply.
- The bill, if enacted, would restrict certain algorithmic recommendation features targeting children. The obligations would land on platforms, not directly on parents.
- House companion bill HF 48 may move in parallel — both bills can advance, and either could end up as the enacted vehicle.
What to do next
- Check the Minnesota Revisor page for SF 1528 to see if the bill clears committee, gets a floor vote, or is amended.
- Watch HF 48 on the same site for parallel House activity — companion bills are how Minnesota frequently moves on tech-policy topics.
