Description

Opened consultation on regulations implementing Florida Digital Bill of Rights (rule 2-3.003) defining reasonable age verification methods

On 12 April 2024, the Attorney General published the regulations implementing the Florida Digital Bill of Rights (rule 2-3.003). The regulations implement Section 501.72(5) of the Florida Statutes, which were amended by the Florida Digital Bill of Rights (SB 262). In particular, the regulations specify that reasonable age verification means any commercially reasonable method regularly used by the government or businesses for the purpose of age and identity verification. Reasonable parental verification represents methods designed to ascertain parental status, age, and identity, which may include requesting parent details from the child, confirming parental relationships, and utilising commercially reasonable identity verification methods. Under the Florida Digital Bill of Rights (SB 262), online platforms providing services that children access are prohibited from processing children's personal information if it may result in harm or privacy risks to children.
