❌ HB547
Enact the Kid Influencer Protection Act
Current Status: In House Committee (Commerce and Labor)
Summary
The bill requires vloggers to hold a portion of their compensation earned from content featuring minors in a trust account, ensuring that minors receive a share of the earnings. It mandates record-keeping and reporting requirements for vloggers regarding the minors featured in their content. The bill also allows minors to take legal action against vloggers for non-compliance.
Rationale
The bill imposes government regulations on vloggers, which conflicts with the Libertarian principles of minimal government intervention and individual freedom. It restricts the ability of individuals to freely engage in contracts and manage their earnings without government oversight.
Risks and Concerns
- Increased government regulation of online content creation
- Potential for overreach in monitoring and enforcement
- Limitation on the freedom of contract for vloggers
