Maryland Kids Code

Passed Legislation

Maryland Kids Code (HB-603)

Introduced by Delegates Jared Solomon (D-18) and C.T. Wilson (D-26), along with Maryland Senators Benjamin Kramer (D-19) and Chris West (R-42), the Maryland Kids Code unanimously passed out of the General Assembly on April 6, 2024 and signed into law by Governor Wes Moore on May 9, 2024.

The Kids Code requires privacy by design and default, and it requires online products and services reasonably likely to be accessed by children and teens under 18 to be age appropriate and designed in kids’ best interests. While Big Tech has now launched a bad-faith lawsuit to stop the Kids Code, our communities and lawmakers are continuing the fight to prioritize Maryland’s 1.4 million kids’ safety and wellbeing online.
