GA SB467

App store providers must verify the age category (child under 13, younger teenager 13-15, older teenager 16-17, or adult 18+) of all Georgia account holders by July 1, 2027, using commercially available methods or parental attestation for minors.

Minor accounts must be linked to a parent account, and parental consent is required before any app download, app purchase, or in-app purchase.

Parents must receive disclosure of an app's age rating, content description, data collection practices, and data sharing before consenting, and can withdraw consent at any time.

Developers must notify app stores of "significant changes" (new data collection categories, altered age ratings, new in-app purchases, or new advertisements), triggering renewed parental consent requirements for minor users.

The Georgia Attorney General has enforcement authority under the Fair Business Practices Act of 1975, and developers have a safe harbor defense when relying in good faith on age category data provided by app stores.
