Healthier Social Media Use by Youth (social media warnings for minors)

HB 24-1136

Children

HB 24-1136 would require large social media platforms, from January 1, 2026, to show users who say they are under 18 research-based pop-up information about social media's effects on youth after one hour of use in a day or when on between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., repeating every 30 minutes. The U.S. District Court for Colorado preliminarily enjoined enforcement on November 6, 2025 in NetChoice v. Weiser on First Amendment compelled-speech grounds; the state appealed to the Tenth Circuit (No. 25-1456).
