The "Don’t Sell Kids’ Data Act of 2025" aims to protect the personal data of minors by prohibiting data brokers from collecting, using, or maintaining such information. This bill is designed to safeguard the privacy of children and ensure that their data is not exploited for commercial purposes.
This legislation would primarily affect data brokers and companies that collect personal information on minors. By preventing these entities from handling data of children under a certain age, the bill seeks to reduce the risk of privacy violations and data misuse. Parents and guardians would benefit from enhanced protections for their children’s data, giving them more control over what information is shared and how it is used.
As of now, HB6292 has been introduced and referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce and the Subcommittee on Commerce, Manufacturing, and Trade. A subcommittee consideration and mark-up session was held on December 11, 2025, where the bill was amended and forwarded to the full committee by voice vote. The bill is currently in the early stages of the legislative process, awaiting further action.
