SB180

South Dakota will require online application stores (like Apple's App Store or Google Play) to verify a user's age before allowing access to apps, and to share age category information with app developers so they can enforce age-appropriate content restrictions. The law creates new definitions for age categories (children under 13, younger teenagers 13-15, older teenagers 16-17, and adults 18+) and requires app stores to display age ratings and content descriptions to help users understand what's appropriate for each age group. This is a new requirement with no existing state law on this topic to replace.
