TN HB1723

Minors under 14 years of age are prohibited from engaging in compensated content creation work, with content creators or parents who violate this facing $2,000 civil penalties per violation

A minor is considered "engaged in content creation work" when their likeness appears in at least 30% of a content creator's compensated video content within a 30-day period and the content generates platform compensation or at least 1¢ per view

Content creators must deposit a portion of gross earnings into a trust account for minors ages 14-17 featured in their content, with funds becoming available when the minor turns 18; minors ages 14-17 creating their own content receive 100% of their earnings

Content creators must maintain detailed records of minors' participation, compensation, and trust deposits until the minor reaches age 21, and minors can sue for actual damages, punitive damages, and attorney fees if violated

Minors age 14 and older (or adults who appeared as minors) have the right to request deletion and removal of video content containing their likeness from online platforms; the law takes effect July 1, 2026
