TN HB1661

Minors are considered engaged in content creation work when their likeness, name, or photograph appears in at least 30% of a content creator's compensated video content within a 30-day period and the content meets monetization thresholds (at least $0.01 per view)

Content creators must deposit a percentage of gross earnings into a trust account for minors featured in their videos, with funds held until the minor turns 18 or is emancipated; the trust must be held by a state or national bank

Content creators must maintain detailed records until the minor reaches 21 years of age, including compensation amounts, minutes of content featuring the minor, and trust deposits

Minors or adults who appeared in content as minors may request deletion of their likeness from any online platform, with civil action available if the request is not honored

Effective January 1, 2027, with civil remedies available including actual damages, punitive damages, and attorney's fees for violations
