Michigan

Subnational jurisdiction · as of 2026-07-15

Michigan has not enacted an age-gating statute in any of the four families. A Senate package known as Kids Over Clicks (Senate Bills 757 through 760) passed the Senate 20 to 17 on April 29, 2026; it would require verifiable parental consent before a platform may serve an addictive feed to a minor, bar addictive feed notifications to minors overnight and during the school day, impose Kids Code style data minimization and parental control duties, and restrict AI companion chatbots that could undermine a minor's safety. The package remains pending in the House Communications and Technology Committee in Michigan's divided legislature. Separate bills on social media age verification and parental consent (House Bill 4388) and adult content age verification (Senate Bill 191) remain in committee and have not passed either chamber.

Instruments on record

SB 757-760 (2026), Kids Over Clicks package

Proposed

Senate Bills 757, 758, 759, and 760, 2025-2026 Regular Session

Applies to private

Senate Bill 757 (a SAFE for Kids style bill) would bar a covered operator from providing an addictive feed to a minor without verifiable parental consent and from sending addictive feed notifications to minors between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. or during school hours, with rules on age and parental consent verification. Senate Bills 758 and 759 (a Kids Code pair) would limit data collection to the minimum needed for age verification with deletion within 60 days, require parental controls, and make violations enforceable under the Michigan Consumer Protection Act. Senate Bill 760 would bar making a companion chatbot available to a minor if it could foreseeably undermine the minor's safety, wellbeing, or development. The package passed the Senate 20 to 17 on April 29, 2026, and is pending in the House Communications and Technology Committee.
