IL SB1782

Defines "vlogger" as an individual or entity creating video content in Illinois for compensation, and establishes that minors under 16 producing their own vlogs are excluded from the definition.

Classifies minors under 16 as "engaged in the work of vlogging" when at least 30% of a vlogger's compensated video content within a 30-day period features the minor and videos generate views meeting platform compensation thresholds or earn at least $0.10 per view.

Exempts minors engaged in vlogging work from most Illinois Child Labor Law provisions, except for trust account requirements and record-keeping obligations.

Requires vloggers to establish trust accounts for minors' earnings, with funds held by banks or trust companies and available to the minor at age 18, distributed based on content percentage thresholds.

Mandates vloggers maintain detailed records of minors' compensation, content minutes, and trust account deposits, with minors permitted to file civil actions for violations and recover actual damages, punitive damages, and attorney's fees.
