New Jersey Kids Code
The New Jersey Kids Code Act (A4015/S3413) was introduced in early 2026 by Assemblywoman Andrea Katz and Senator Raj Mukherji.
The bill introduces an Age-Appropriate Design Code for New Jersey and establishes standards for online platforms relating to usage by kids, including increasing privacy and safety settings, prohibiting targeted advertising, and increasing parental control of their children’s accounts.
The bill on 20 February passed the Assembly Science, Innovation and Technology Committee with unanimous approval.
We know the consequences of spending too much time online. Families are seeing the impacts, from increased anxiety, depression, and eating disorders to disrupted sleep and harmful content reaching kids far too easily. […] This package is about making online spaces safer for minors in an ever-changing digital landscape.”
Assemblywoman Andrea Katz
