What it requires

Requires data minimization, consent for sensitive-data processing and sale, non-discrimination, and a detailed privacy notice, now including a required disclosure of whether the controller uses or sells personal data to train large language models. Extends the ban on targeted advertising and sale to any consumer known to be under 18 (up from under 16 in the introduced bill), cross-references the Vermont Age-Appropriate Design Code Act for covered minors, and requires a non-default opt-out preference signal mechanism.
