Ohio Age Verification Policies
Ohio lawmakers are considering two different versions of legislation that require app stores to establish age verification measures.
The two versions are: House Bill 226 and Senate Bill 167, backed by Meta, and House Bill 302 and Senate Bill 175, supported by Google.
Earlier this year, a federal judge struck down a state law requiring parental permission for social media and gaming apps, leading legislators to focus on regulating app stores instead of individual apps.
- Under HB 226 and SB 167, app stores must obtain parental permission before allowing Ohioans 16 years or younger to download an app that is "likely to be accessed by children".
- App stores would be responsible for verifying user ages through a user's device.
