Would require social media companies to implement an age assurance system for Utah account holders, apply default protections for known minors, and let verified parents supervise a minor's account. HB 464 additionally repealed Utah's original 2023 Social Media Regulation Act and created a private right of action for a minor's mental health harms tied to a platform's algorithmically curated feed.
