The measure, which now goes to the desk of Republican Governor Ron DeSantis, would require social media platforms to terminate the accounts of anyone under 16 years old and use a third-party verification system to screen out those who are underage.

The measure was passed by the Florida House of Representatives in a vote of 108-7 on Thursday, just hours after the state Senate gave final approval.

DeSantis, who has not indicated whether he will sign the measure, expressed concerns last month about its potential infringement on privacy rights.

Florida House Speaker Paul Renner said lawmakers crafted the measure to address potential concerns about possible privacy rights violations.

“We’ve addressed constitutional concerns by narrowly focusing the scope of the bill on the addictive features, added enhanced anonymity provisions to the age verification process to protect user data, and incorporated meaningful penalties to hold Big Tech accountable,” Renner, a Republican, posted on the social media platform X on Thursday.

The bill would require social media companies to permanently delete personal information collected from terminated accounts and let parents bring civil lawsuits against those failing to do so.
