House lawmakers unveiled a bipartisan agreement Monday on a package aimed at making online platforms safer for children and teens, reviving efforts to regulate social media and digital platforms after months of stalled negotiations, according to The Hill.

House Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Brett Guthrie, R-Ky., and ranking member Frank Pallone, D-N.J., announced they had reached consensus on the Kids Internet and Digital Safety Act, or KIDS Act, after months of talks.

The lawmakers said the legislation is designed to address growing concerns about the impact of social media and digital services on minors while giving parents greater oversight of their children's online activities.

"We worked across the aisle for many months and found common ground on policies to significantly improve the digital environment for kids," Guthrie and Pallone said in a joint statement.

According to the lawmakers, the package would establish new requirements intended to make online platforms safer for children and teens by expanding parental controls, strengthening privacy protections, increasing transparency surrounding data collection and brokerage practices, and imposing new accountability measures on major technology companies.

"Through empowering parents, establishing safety as a default, strengthening privacy for children and teens, increasing transparency around data brokers, and holding Big Tech accountable, the KIDS Act delivers the 21st century protections parents have demanded and our kids deserve," the statement said.

The legislation incorporates portions of the widely debated Kids Online Safety Act, known as KOSA, which seeks to require social media companies and other online platforms to take added steps to protect minors from harmful content and online risks.

Efforts to advance child online safety legislation have faced significant hurdles in recent months amid disagreements over the scope of federal regulation and concerns about potential impacts on free speech and platform operations.

A previous version of the KIDS legislative package cleared the House Energy and Commerce Committee in March in a 28-24 vote, but broader negotiations between Republicans and Democrats over digital and social media regulations later stalled.

The new bipartisan agreement signals renewed momentum for online child safety legislation as lawmakers from both parties continue to face pressure from parents, advocacy groups, and state officials seeking stronger protections for young internet users.

It remains unclear when the legislation will receive a committee vote or be scheduled for consideration by the full House.

Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., who leads the Senate KOSA effort, is hoping to seal a deal by July Fourth with the White House that would incorporate her bill into a federal framework for AI, Punchbowl News reported.

The Senate Commerce Committee is likely to mark up KOSA and other kids' safety bills in mid-July.

Chair Ted Cruz, a Texas Republican, wants to advance a version that can pass the House, though he wasn't part of the negotiations with Guthrie and Pallone.
