NC Senate committee revives stalled social media bill for minors

The NC Senate Education/Higher Education Committee voted April 29 to advance House Bill 301, the Social Media Protections for Minors Under 16 Act, reviving a measure that passed the House 106-6 last May but stalled in the Senate. The committee also adopted an AI-in-schools amendment and heard testimony from a Meta attorney backing the bill while pushing to shift age verification onto Apple and Google's app stores.
