The Parental Rights in Social Media Act, also known as LB 383, is a Nebraska law signed into law in May 2025 by Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen. The law was introduced by Tanya Storer on behalf of the governor, who had earlier stated an intent to find ways to regulate social media for minors within the state.
Requirements The law requires any website meeting its definition of a social media company to verify users' ages using a third party vendor and prevents minors from using those sites without consent from a parent or guardian, whic can be revoked. The law also imposes restrictions on the retention of the age verification data. A parent or guardian is required to have the ability to view a minor's posts and messages as well as control the minor's privacy settings and limit their time spent on the platform.
The law is enforceable by a private right of action and by the Nebraska Attorney General, who can collect fines up to 2,500 dollars per violation. The law took effect on July 1, 2026.
