Parents could get new tools to set kids' screen limits on phones, tablets, and other devices.
This bill would require a government agency, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), to work with tech companies and experts to create a voluntary standard for setting screen time limits. This could give parents better ways to manage their children's screen use across different devices, while also protecting privacy and device security. Device makers would choose whether to adopt this standard.
Today, there is no federally supported voluntary standard for setting screen time limits across different devices. If this bill becomes law, the National Institute of Standards and Technology would work with various experts to develop such a standard. Device makers could then choose to adopt it, potentially giving parents more consistent ways to manage screen time for their children.
