Chair Kirkpatrick opened the Children and Families Committee hearing, noted the session was running late and that because the event was a hearing-only item a quorum was not required, and asked Senator Kausser to present SB 467.
The Children and Families Committee held a hearing on SB 467, a bill that would require app-store age verification and parental consent for minors to download and make in‑app purchases. Supporters framed the measure as a way to give parents more control; opponents warned it would centralize sensitive data, raise privacy and First Amendment concerns, and likely prompt litigation. Testimony included industry groups, civil liberties advocates, parents, and law‑enforcement representatives.
