Committee hears testimony on age‑appropriate design code aimed at limiting addictive features for minors

Senators heard a detailed presentation and public testimony on SB 495, which would ban design features such as infinite scroll, autoplay, and late‑night push notifications for services 'reasonably likely' to be used by minors; the bill uses a 2% audience threshold to determine coverage and includes a private right of action, but opponents warned of First Amendment and vagueness risks.
