Assemblymember Juan Alanis's bill, Assembly Bill 1880, aimed at protecting child influencers has successfully passed in the California State Assembly. The legislation, which passed unanimously, is now moving forward to the Senate for further consideration.

"Children who create content online deserve the same level of protection and financial security as child actors," emphasized Assemblymember Juan Alanis, highlighting the importance of safeguarding minors in the digital age.

The bill, AB 1880, seeks to extend the protections of the Coogan Law to minor online content creators, ensuring that they are shielded from potential exploitation and financial harm. Assemblymember Alanis, a strong advocate for the rights of minors, expressed that by expanding the Coogan Law to cover the online industry, it sends a clear message that minors have rights and deserve protection regardless of the platform they use for content creation.

The bipartisan support for AB 1880 in the Assembly signifies the crucial need to protect minors in the online realm. The bill will now be reviewed in the Senate Judiciary Committee as it progresses through the legislative process.

Assemblymember Juan Alanis, who represents the 22nd Assembly District, including various communities such as Modesto, Turlock, Ceres, and others, continues to champion the rights and well-being of minors in the state of California.
