Minors under 16 are considered "engaged in work as a vlogger" when at least 30% of compensated video content within a 30-day period features their likeness, name, or photograph, and the content meets platform compensation thresholds or earns at least $0.10 per view.

Vloggers must deposit a portion of gross earnings into a trust account for featured minors, with the percentage equal to at least half of the content percentage featuring the minor; funds become available when the minor turns 18 or is emancipated.

When multiple minors meet the content threshold in a video segment, the required trust contribution must be equally divided among all featured minors regardless of individual screen time differences.

Vloggers must maintain and provide ongoing records to minors including: proof of age, number of compensated vlogs, total minutes of content, minutes featuring each minor, total compensation generated, and trust account deposits.

Minors may bring civil actions against vloggers who fail to maintain required records or violate trust account requirements, with courts authorized to award actual damages, punitive damages, and attorney's fees.
