CA SB1504

Expands the Cyberbullying Protection Act to apply to minors rather than pupils and defines "severe or pervasive conduct" to include only content with specified harmful, detrimental, or substantially interfering effects on minors.

Requires social media platforms to provide written confirmation of cyberbullying reports within 36 hours and periodic status updates to reporting individuals, with a final determination within 30 days.

Limits civil actions for relief to parents, legal guardians, school administrators who submit reports, city attorneys, district attorneys, county counsel, and the Attorney General.

Increases civil liability for platform violations from $7,500 to $10,000 per violation and adds liability for compensatory and punitive damages, with courts authorized to award reasonable attorney's fees and costs to prevailing plaintiffs.

Specifies that "severe conduct" may include content that calls for self-injury or suicide, contains threats of violence, or attacks minors based on sexual assault or exploitation experiences.
