A House-passed package that folds the Kids Online Safety Act together with about a dozen other child-safety bills and moves them through the Senate as one.
This bill is still moving, so there's still time to push back.Contact Congress →

What it does
The KIDS Act is one bill carrying about a dozen child-safety measures at once, including the House version of KOSA, the SCREEN Act, and the SPY Kids Act. The House KOSA it carries has no duty of care but does require age verification for every user. A vote for the package is a vote for all of it.
Why it matters
Bundling is how a stuck bill gets through. KOSA sat in committee on its own, but inside the KIDS Act it has passed the House and moved to the Senate. The age checks ride along with it.
Our take
Packaging a dozen bills together makes each one harder to fight, because a no vote reads as a vote against child safety. The parts that reach you most, age verification and the SCREEN Act's rules aimed at VPNs, travel further as a bundle than any of them would alone.
