Chairman Guthrie and Ranking Member Pallone Announce Agreement on Bipartisan Kids’ Safety Package

Coming into this Congress, we knew that protecting children and teens online would be one of the most significant challenges this committee would have to address. In the tradition of the Energy and Commerce Committee, we worked across the aisle for many months and have now found common ground on policies to significantly improve the digital environment for kids, Through empowering parents, establishing safety as a default, strengthening privacy for children and teens, increasing transparency around data brokers, and holding Big Tech accountable, the KIDS Act delivers the 21st century protections parents have demanded and our kids deserve.
