This legislation mandates the Secretary of Commerce to establish the Kids Internet Safety Partnership within one year of enactment. This Partnership will be led by a Director and tasked with coordinating with federal agencies and diverse stakeholders to identify both the risks and benefits associated with minors' use of online platforms. A key duty involves developing and advancing evidence-based best practices tailored for minors of different ages, aiming to mitigate identified risks while preserving and enhancing online benefits. The Partnership is also required to publish biennial reports detailing its findings on risks, benefits, and the efficacy and adoption of safeguards and parental tools by online services. Furthermore, within two years, it must release a playbook for providers and developers , outlining best practices for implementing measures such as age verification, design features, parental controls, and default privacy settings. The Partnership is designed to sunset five years after its establishment, ensuring a focused period of activity to improve online safety for children.
