Protection of Children on Applications (Louisiana App Store Accountability Act)

Requires app stores to verify the age category (under 13, 13-15, 16-17, adult) of Louisiana users at account creation, link minors' accounts to a parent account, and obtain verifiable parental consent before a minor downloads or buys apps or makes in-app purchases. Developers must use the store's age signal and consent status, may not sell age category data, and may not enforce terms against minors without parental consent. Act 185 of 2026 stopped the 2025 version (Act 481) from taking effect on July 1, 2026 and re-enacted the scheme effective July 1, 2027.
