MS HB1576

Interactive computer service providers must obtain parental consent before entering into any contractual agreement with minors under 18, including terms of service; any agreement made without parental consent is void from inception

Parents who consent must receive full access to their child's account activity, including usage dates and duration, all posts and messages, comments, reactions, friend/follower connections, and whether connected users are verified adults

Service providers must implement age verification using government-issued ID or commercial verification systems that rely on transactional data; those who fail verification cannot use the service without parental consent

Civil penalties include up to $10,000 per day for age verification violations, $10,000 per instance for improperly retaining identifying information, and $250,000 for failing to provide parents access to their child's activity

The Attorney General may bring enforcement actions after providing 30 days' notice, and parents may file civil suits seeking damages and attorney's fees; the law takes effect July 1, 2027
