Lets a minor under 18 or the minor's legal guardian request that an online game provider restrict the minor's game access to specific hours or a set daily duration, and requires the game provider to comply with the requested restriction. Since the parallel mandatory overnight shutdown system was repealed effective January 1, 2022, this parental-choice system is the sole statutory game-time control for minors.
