Digital Age Assurance Act of 2026
A bill to require operating system providers to require users to indicate their age and developers of applications, covered internet website operators, and browser providers to request a signal from operating system providers that indicates a user's age, and for other purposes.
SB5090 is a proposed bill aiming to ensure that users of operating systems must indicate their age. This requirement would then be communicated to app developers, internet website operators, and browser providers. Essentially, the bill seeks to make age verification a part of the user experience across different platforms and applications.
The bill would affect anyone using operating systems, including individuals and businesses. It would also impact app developers, website operators, and browser providers, who would need to implement systems to request and receive age verification signals from operating systems. This could lead to changes in how users access and interact with various online services and applications, potentially affecting privacy and user experience.
As of the last update on 2026-07-22, SB5090 was introduced and referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. The bill is currently under review, and no further actions have been taken yet. Key recent history includes the bill being read twice and referred to the committee for further consideration.
