le.utah.govUtah S.B. 152 — Social Media Regulation Amendments (2023 General Session)

Why this status

Utah's S.B. 152 (Social Media Regulation Amendments) was signed by the Governor on March 23, 2023 and took effect on May 3, 2023 — one of the older state rules of this kind on the books. The law established age-verification and parental-consent requirements for social-media platforms serving minors in Utah.

What this means

Utah's rule places age-verification and parental-consent duties on social-media platforms — not directly on parents.
The specific age thresholds, consent mechanisms, and platform scope live in the codified Utah Code provisions enacted by S.B. 152.
Utah was an early-mover on this topic; subsequent amendments in 2024 and beyond may have shifted the operative requirements — those amendments belong on a separate read of the current statute, not this card.

What to verify next

Read the codified provisions in the Utah Code or the original S.B. 152 text for the exact age threshold, consent mechanism, and platform scope.
Watch for court challenges or 2024–2026 amendments — both can shift what platforms have to do; the status pill on this card will update if a court order or new statute changes enforcement.
