OH SB175

Application distribution providers (app stores) must request users' ages when creating accounts, provide age verification options, and give developers tools to request age signals and block non-adults from downloading certain apps

Developers of "covered applications" (apps with different experiences for adults vs. minors) must estimate user ages, obtain verifiable parental consent before minors access adult-designated content, and are prohibited from delivering personalized advertising to minors

Operating system providers must request age declarations from new account holders and enable parents to activate content filters for minor accounts; internet browsers and search engines must provide filters that block obscene material

Attorney General has exclusive enforcement authority and may seek civil penalties up to $1,000 per violation; no private right of action is created

Requirements take effect one year after the bill's effective date, with good faith compliance efforts providing liability protection for app stores and operating system providers regarding erroneous age signals
